Pesto Grilled Cheese With Tomato on Ciabatta

A classic grilled cheese is the perfect comfort food. Although it’s simple and delicious in its most basic form, we’ve never been ones to leave well enough alone. Get creative with this pesto-powered mozzarella version.

2 sandwiches

  1. Spread 2 slices of ciabatta bread with 2 tablespoons of pesto sauce and top with 2 slices of mozzarella and one thin slice of tomato per sandwich.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add sandwich, cover and cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes on one side. Flip and cook until the cheese is melted through.
