Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich

PESTO GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

*RECIPE ADAPTED FROM CLOSET COOKING

INGREDIENTS

-------------------------

3 Tablespoons Spinach Pesto

(Substitute a basil based pesto if you prefer)

2 Slices of Your Favorite Cheese

(Muenster, Mozzarella, Gruyere are great choices)

2 Slices Wheat or Whole Grain Bread

1 Tablespoon Butter

PREPARATION

---------------------------

This meal is super easy & great if you are cooking dinner for one. I tried it last week when John had to work really, really late & I just couldn't wait to eat with him. He was able to assemble & cook his sandwich when he was finally home.

Just like a regular grilled cheese -- butter both sides of each slice of bread first while your grill pan or skillet heats up on the stove. Spread pesto on the interior side of each piece of bread.

Once each slice is covered in pesto, place both pieces of mozzarella in between the two slices. Add to your grill pan (or skillet) & cook about two to four minutes on each side, so that bread is browned & cheese is melted. This sandwich pairs really well with a small cup of basil tomato soup; a great combination for these cooler nights here in Georgia.

China Soundtrack

These three albums were on heavy repeat during long car rides & domestic flights when I was working in China for two weeks. They are great for keeping creative energy running at high levels at the office as well. Below are my three favorite songs on each album right now.

1 // Clap Your Hands & Say Yeah / Hysterical

Same Mistake - Misspent Youth* - The Witness' Dull Surprise

2 // The Kooks / Junk of the Heart

  Rosie - Taking Pictures of You - Runaway*

3 // Mason Jennings / Minnesota

Bitter Heart* - Raindrops on the Kitchen Floor - No Relief

Fourteen days from now, I will be turning twenty-eight; my husband enjoys reminding me that I will officially be entering my late twenties (he is three years my senior). Per his request for a birthday list, I've compiled a list of twenty-eight items from my never-ending wishlist. I've divided it into two parts; above is the first set.
