Description

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 strips beef bacon, cooked and chopped

4 heaping tablespoons pesto

Butter, as needed for spreading


Instructions

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

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

  3. Place a second slice of bread on top to form the sandwich. Spread butter on top side.

  4. Turn heat to medium. Cook sandwiches until golden brown on each side and cheese is fully melted.

  5. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Press the sandwich gently before cooking for better melting.
  • Dry the mozzarella well to avoid sogginess.
  • Customize with other cheeses, veggies, or spreads.
