Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 4 slices multigrain whole wheat bread
  • salted butter (preferably tillamook), melted
  • 8 slices medium cheddar cheese, preferably tillamook
Directions
  1. Preheat a counter top griddle to medium-high heat.
  2. Spread basil pesto on one side of all slices of bread.
  3. Brush melted butter on the other side and place all bread slices on grill, butter side down.
  4. Add two slices of cheddar cheese on each piece of bread, directly on top of the pesto.
  5. Place a pot lid over all slices of bread to help the cheese melt faster. Let them sit for a minute or so, then check the cheese to see how melted it is. Repeat this process as necessary until the cheese is fully melted.
  6. Close the sandwiches and flip them over a few times, allowing the cheese to melt together.
  7. Pull them from the grill, cut them, plate them, and enjoy.
