Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons basil pesto
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Optional: 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Instructions
- Spread basil pesto evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
- On one slice of bread, layer the shredded mozzarella cheese and optional sun-dried tomatoes.
- Top with the other slice of sourdough bread, pesto-side down.
- Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet.
- Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Slice and serve the sourdough pesto grilled cheese immediately.
Notes
- For a gourmet sourdough pesto grilled cheese, try using a blend of cheeses like provolone or fontina.
- Adjust the amount of pesto to your preference.
- Ensure your skillet is not too hot to prevent burning the bread before the cheese melts.
