Description
A light twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich. Just add pesto!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon store-bought basil pesto, plus more for spreading
- 4–6 slices gouda, muenster, or Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 slices thick sliced bread, I like sourdough
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix together 1 tablespoon pesto and softened butter. Spread pesto butter on one side of all four slices of bread.
- Flip the bread slices butter side down and spread each slice with more plain pesto. Top two of the slices of bread with cheese. Sandwich the bread, butter side out and fry in a skillet over medium heat. Flip when golden brown and fry on the other side. Cook until browned and melty.
- Remove to a cutting board and allow to cool for 3 minutes before slicing in half and enjoying warm.
