A crispy, cheesy, flavor-packed sourdough sandwich layered with mozzarella, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and beef bacon. The ultimate gourmet grilled cheese!
Ingredients
8 thick slices sourdough bread
3 fresh mozzarella balls (125g each), thinly sliced and patted dry
8 sun-dried tomatoes, dried and chopped

4 heaping tablespoons pesto
Butter, as needed for spreading
Instructions

Lay 2 slices of bread (butter side down) in a cold skillet.

Add 3–4 slices of mozzarella to each. Top with 1 tbsp pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, bacon, and another layer of mozzarella.

Place a second slice of bread on top to form the sandwich. Spread butter on top side.
-
Turn heat to medium. Cook sandwiches until golden brown on each side and cheese is fully melted.
