Description
A savory sandwich filled with fresh basil pesto, luscious turkey, melted cheese, and juicy tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (your choice—sourdough works wonderfully!)
- 2 tablespoons pesto (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 slices of fontina cheese (or mozzarella for a milder flavor)
- 4-6 slices of turkey (deli or leftover roasted turkey)
- 2 slices of tomato (ripe for the best flavor)
- Butter for grilling
Instructions
- Spread the pesto on one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer turkey and tomato slices on top of the pesto on one slice of bread, then add fontina cheese.
- Top with the other slice of bread, pesto side down.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill until golden brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes).
- Flip the sandwich, adding more butter if needed, and grill the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted (another 3-4 minutes).
- Remove from the skillet, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
For an extra creamy version, add avocado or use sharp cheddar for a spicy kick.
