Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices of your favorite bread
  • 1 cup shredded random cheese e.g., Gruyère, Fontina, or Monterey Jack
  • 2 tablespoons basil pesto
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened

Instructions
 

Preheat the Pan:

  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Butter the Bread:

  • Spread one side of each bread slice with softened butter. This will ensure a crispy, golden exterior.

Create the Cheese Blend:

  • In a bowl, mix the shredded random cheese with the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. This combination adds a burst of flavor to your sandwich.

Build the Sandwiches:

  • On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, evenly spread a layer of basil pesto.

Add the Cheese Mixture:

  • Distribute the cheese and sun-dried tomato mixture evenly over the pesto-covered slices.

Top and Cook:

  • Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side facing out. Carefully transfer the sandwiches to the preheated skillet or griddle.

Cook to Perfection:

  • Cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted to gooey perfection.

Slice and Serve:

  • Remove the sandwiches from the heat, let them cool for a moment, then slice diagonally for that extra touch of flair.
