Italian Grilled Cheese


This time you can judge my recipe by the picture....thumbs down to a burnt grilled cheese!!   We didn't have any more pesto - since I was creative in using up the remaining pesto we had.....and so when someONE left the sandwiches unattended as they ate SPAM!...and they burnt - we had to eat them anyways!!  I could tell that this would have been awesome - and mozzarella cheese is a MUST on grilled cheese.  Still on the search for the perfect "homemade" grilled cheese!!



Ingredients:
Basil and oregano pesto (see below)
Mozzarella cheese, sliced
Tomato, sliced
Bread

Take bread - butter one side on each piece....spread some pesto on that bad boy.  Then cheese - then tomato - then cheese - and top!


Basil & Oregano Pesto
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves (or just more basil leaves)
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup of walnuts
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2-3 tablespoons olive oil

Put all of the ingredients in a food processor, blend and set aside.
