Prosciutto, Pesto and Sun-dried Tomato Grilled Cheese

By kaitsplate

I adapted this sandwich from a recipe by G. Garvin, but amped up the Italian flavour big time.

Ingredients

• 2 -2 slices of bread -- focaccia, or a ciabatta bun, or if you're stuck, like me, plain old sandwich bread
• 1 -About 1 tbsp of pesto
• 2 -2 or 3 sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed or not, julienned (now, this is grilled cheese, so don't worry about making perfect little matchsticks--just slice them small enough that you won't bite off a bi
• -A slice of mozzarella cheese, or a handful of shredded mozzarella
• 1 -1 or 2 thin slices of prosciutto
• -Softened butter

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter. Spread opposite side of each slice of bread with pesto. Lay one slice of bread on a plate, buttered-side down. Arrange prosciutto, cheese, and tomatoes on bread. Top with the second slice of bread (buttered side up this time). Cook about 5 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
