Crispy sourdough with basil pesto and melted mozzarella, fontina, and cheddar. Golden and delicious in 20 minutes.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bread
01 - 4 thick-cut slices sourdough bread
→ Cheese Blend
02 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
03 - 1/2 cup shredded fontina cheese
04 - 1/2 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
→ Spreads & Condiments
05 - 3 tablespoons basil pesto
06 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
# How-To Steps:
01 - Lay out all sourdough slices on a clean surface. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each slice.
02 - Flip each bread slice over. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of basil pesto onto the unbuttered side of two slices only.
03 - Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella, fontina, and sharp white cheddar over the pesto-coated slices, ensuring complete coverage to the edges.
04 - Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side facing outward, to create two complete sandwiches.
05 - Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until properly warmed.
06 - Transfer sandwiches to the preheated pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula. Flip carefully and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until bread turns golden brown and crispy with cheese fully melted.
07 - Remove sandwiches from heat and let rest for 1 minute. Slice diagonally and serve immediately while hot.
