Indulge in the ultimate grilled cheese experience with our best pesto recipe. A melt-in-your-mouth delight for cheese lovers! Perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
4 slices of sourdough or whole grain bread
8 oz of mozzarella and cheddar mix cheese
1/4 cup of store-bought or homemade pesto
2 tbsp of unsalted butter
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
Instructions
Gather all your ingredients. For a smooth cooking experience, make sure everything is within arm's reach. Slice your bread, cheese, and have the pesto ready to go!
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread. This step is crucial for achieving that golden-brown crust we all crave!
On the unbuttered side of one slice, evenly spread 2 tablespoons of pesto. Next, layer the cheeses generously and cover it with another slice, buttered side facing outside. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once ready, add the sandwich. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until it's golden brown, then carefully flip and grill the other side until the cheese is melted and gooey.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them sit for one minute, slice them in half, and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve immediately for a melt-in-your-mouth experience!
