Fresh Mozzarella and Tomato Pesto Melt
Enjoy a melty, vibrant twist on the classic grilled cheese with fresh mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, and a homemade tomato-basil pesto. This melt offers an appealing blend of creamy cheese and fresh garden flavors, all tucked between toasted whole grain bread for a satisfying, balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Fresh Mozzarella
2 slices Whole Grain Bread
1 medium Tomato
1/4 cup Fresh Basil (loosely packed)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
In a small bowl or food processor, combine the tomato, fresh basil, garlic, and olive oil to create a simple pesto. Pulse a few times until roughly blended.
Slice the mozzarella into even pieces.
Lay out the bread slices and spread a thin layer of the tomato basil pesto on one side of each slice.
Place slices of fresh mozzarella on one of the bread slices, then top with the sliced tomato.
Close the sandwich with the other slice, pressing down gently.
Place the assembled sandwich in the preheated skillet. Toast for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and the cheese begins to melt.
Remove from skillet, cut in half if desired, and serve warm.
