This is one of my favorite things to eat as a late night snack or for a quick lunch. I love this sandwich because the pesto and parmesan give it tremendous flavor, and it gives the American grilled cheese a little pizzazz. It’s easy to make and any novice chef can do it. It taste great by itself or dipped in a tomato soup. One more reason this is a great sandwich is that in contains parmesan cheese. Parmesan cheese has the greatest amount of calcium per serving size of any cheese, so it is very nutrient dense for the quantity.
Ingredients
Pesto
Arugula
Shredded Fresh Parmesan cheese
Artisan Bread (I like rosemary)
Fresh or Sundried tomato (if desired)
Recipe
1. Liberally smear the pesto on either side of the bread
2. Add the cheese, arugula, and fresh/sundried tomatoes if you choose to add them (I’m not a big fun of sundried tomatoes, but my mom is so it depends on your preference. I also think this sandwich has enough flavor as it is, I’m not sure it needs the addition of the tomatoes. Fresh tomatoes would make it a little less dry)
3. Heat the Panini maker to medium heat then add the sandwich. Allow to heat until the crust has lightly browned ridges in it (approximately 3 minutes)
4. Remove from heat and serve
