Equipment
- Non-Stick Skillet
- Spatula

Ingredients
For the Sandwich:
- 2 slices Crusty sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Pesto fresh or store-bought
- 2 slices Sargento provolone cheese
- 1.5 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients on a clean countertop.
- Spread ¾ tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread 2 tablespoons of pesto. Layer the two slices of provolone cheese on top of the pesto, then place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out.
- Place your skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for a minute.
- Carefully place your sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- Using your spatula, gently flip the sandwich over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing in half.
Notes
- Don’t rush the cooking process; medium heat allows the cheese to melt perfectly.
- Be generous with the pesto, but avoid overdoing it to keep the sandwich from becoming soggy.
- If adding extra ingredients like tomatoes, make sure they are dry to prevent sogginess.
