You can make this smoky mozzarella and basil pesto grilled cheese sandwich and eat it straight away. It will be gooey and flavourful on the inside, crispy and buttery on the outside....but why stop there? You can take it to the next level by dipping it in a super simple spicy marinara. Ugh. It is heaven and I've had this for dinner three nights in a row because I'm obsessed. What else can I say, scroll down for the recipes. Make it, take a delicious bite, (a glass of red wine wouldn't go astray along side) then pat yourself on the back cause you just made an epic sandwich.
I think the type of bread you use here is VERY important. I randomly tried it with some generic sliced multigrain bread and didn't really enjoy it. A thinly sliced white sourdough is pretty perfect. I find if the bread is too thick the filling doesn't heat through as easily and also it just is a better ratio of bread to filling when the bread is on the thinner side. Recipes
