Grilled Cheese with Pesto
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon softened butter, divided
  • 2 slices Italian bread
  • 1 tablespoon prepared pesto sauce, divided
  • 1 slice provolone cheese
  • 2 slices tomato
  • 1 slice American cheese
Instructions
1
Begin by placing a slice of bread into a preheated nonstick skillet over medium heat.
2
Apply a layer of butter to one side of the bread slice, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
3
Next, place the buttered side down into the skillet and let it heat for a moment.
4
Spread half of the pesto sauce onto the unbuttered side of the bread slice, covering it evenly.
5
Add a layer of provolone cheese, followed by sliced tomato and American cheese on top of the pesto sauce.
6
Spread the remaining pesto sauce onto the second slice of bread, making sure to cover it completely.
7
Carefully place the pesto side down onto the sandwich in the pan, ensuring it makes contact with the bread slice already in the skillet.
8
Butter the top side of the second bread slice, covering it evenly with butter.
9
Gently cook the sandwich in the skillet, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted, taking around 5 minutes per side.
