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!ingredients for Grilled Cheese with Pesto & Tomato

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.

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.

  2. I 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.

    • I never thought of grilled peanut butter! :-) I like the idea of cheese on the outside of the sandwiches. Might have to try that next time! Thanks for your comments.
