I absolutely LOVE fresh mozzarella with tomato and basil. You can find that perfect combination in this fresh version of a classic comfort food!
Tomato Mozzarella Grilled Cheese
Needed:
- french bread
- fresh mozzarella
- tomatoes
- pesto
- butter
Slice bread, mozzarella, and tomatoes. Spread a thin layer of pesto on bread (you can find my recipe for Basil Pesto here). If you’d rather, you could layer on a few fresh basil leaves instead of pesto. Top with tomato and cheese. Lightly butter the outside of sandwiches.
Heat skillet or panini press. Toast sandwich on both sides. Enjoy that goodness! And if you’re looking for more grilled cheese inspiration, check out my jalapeno popper grilled cheese.
Always a great combination!
This looks so good. I love making grilled cheese with mozzarella, but haven’t added pesto. Yum!
I love the extra flavor that pesto adds to this sandwich. If you haven’t made pesto before, you definitely should, it’s so easy!
