Grilled Mozzarella Sandwich
Turn grilled
cheese into an adult dish with creamy buffalo mozzarella and fresh thyme
chunks.
Ingredients
For the
Sandwich
- 1 large tomato sliced
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese sliced
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 oz roasted red peppers jarred
For the
Pesto
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic peeled
- 2 tablespoons walnuts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Instructions
First, to
make the pesto, place the basil, garlic, nuts and Parmesan cheese in the food
processor; season with salt and pepper, to taste, and mix. While the food
processor is running, slowly pour the olive oil into the mixture to allow the
olive oil to emulsify.
Then, spread
the pesto evenly over the 4 slices of bread and place the bread on the panini
machine or in a toaster for 2 minutes.
Place
the mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and roasted red peppers on slices of bread and
allow the cheese to melt and soften the vegetables.
Once the
cheese is melted, close the sandwich, cut and serve immediately. Happy Cooking
Time.
