Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich
A classic grilled cheese sandwich taken up a few levels with provolone cheese, turkey, tomato, and the most amazing pesto sauce-mayo spread!
Servings: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon pesto (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons salted butter , softened, divided
- 2 slices sturdy bread , such as French or Italian
- 2 slices provolone cheese , divided
- 2 slices tomato
- 2 slices deli turkey meat
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the pesto and mayonnaise.
- Spread half of the butter on 1 side of each bread slice. Spread half of the pesto-mayo mixture on the unbuttered side of each bread slice.
- Transfer 1 slice of bread in skillet, buttered side down. Top with 1 slice provolone, the tomato, turkey, ending with the remaining Provolone. Place second bread slice on top, buttered side up.
- Cook, flipping once carefully, until both sides of bread are golden brown and cheese has melted, about 4 minutes per side, pressing down with a spatula after the first flip so both sides develop a crust.
- (Give your bread a quick peek underneath from time to time to make sure it's not browning too quickly. If so, adjust your heat.)
- Cut in half and enjoy with some potato chips!
