Materials

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 Tbsp. prepared basil pesto
  • 2 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 slices tomato
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. butter

Instructions

  • Lay bread slices side-by-side. Spread pesto on both pieces of bread.
  • On one side of bread only, layer provolone cheese, tomato slices, then American cheese.
  • Flip other piece of bread on top so pesto is on the American cheese. Butter the outside of the top piece of bread. Grab with both hands and flip it over into the pan so it's butter-side-down. Then, butter the outside of that piece of bread.
  • Heat pan to medium heat. For extra melted cheese, cover pan with lid. Brown bottom of sandwich, then flip to brown other side. Enjoy!
