Cook Time5 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • Spinach Basil Pesto
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan
  • squeeze of lemon juice
  • Grilled Cheese
  • 2 large tomatoes thinly sliced
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 8 slices whole grain or gluten-free bread
  • 4 tablespoons grass-fed butter or extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Place all of the ingredients for the spinach pesto into a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Next spread the butter or olive oil on one side of each piece of bread. Place the bread buttered side down in a skillet over low to medium heat. Layer the mozzarella on top along with a slice of tomato. Then grab another slice of bread, spread the pesto on the side that’s not buttered and place it on top of the other piece in the skillet.
  • After it’s cooked for about 3 minutes and the cheese starts to melt, flip the sandwich so that the uncooked side is facing down. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until light golden brown on the outside. Serve immediately and enjoy!
