Grilled Cheese with Pesto & Tomato is a delicious and quick lunch. Made with either homemade or store bought pesto and fresh tomatoes from your garden, you’ll love this sandwich!
Today I was a short order cook for lunch! (Some kids wanted plain grilled cheese. Some wanted grilled cheese (sharp cheddar makes a DELISH grilled cheese!) with tomatoes. And the adults wanted the sandwich loaded. And what a lunch!! Grilled cheese on homemade bread with homemade pesto and tomatoes from my garden! It doesn’t get much better than that.
Grilled Cheese with Pesto & Tomato
It’s super easy to make this – and a great way to use up left over pesto!! Butter one side of your bread and slather pesto on the other. Layer sliced tomatoes and cheese.
Arrange everything just so…
Cook in a cast-iron skillet! Yum, yum. 🙂

August 26, 2011 at 2:35 pmI love grilled cheese. You can also sprinkle grated cheese on the outside and give it two more flips to make a cheesey outside too. Or make it like a panini and make it in a grill pan with a ribbed bottom after you flip the first time put something heavy on top to squish it. I also like to add tuna. Grilled peanut butter is really good too.
