Provided by Linda Larsen

Categories     Lunch     Dinner     Entree     Sandwich

Time 13m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 slices whole wheat bread
3 tablespoons butter, softened
8 thin slices Swiss, Muenster, Colby or Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup basil pesto

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F. Spread the butter on only one side of each slice of the bread, spreading more thickly around the edges and less in the center. This will prevent the edges from burning before the center is crisp.
  • Place half of the bread slices, buttered side down, on the work surface. Top each piece of bread with a slice of cheese, a tablespoon of pesto, then another slice of cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
  • Place the sandwiches on heavy-duty jelly roll pan.
  • Bake for 4 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven. Immediately turn the oven up to 450 F. Carefully turn the sandwiches using a large spatula.
  • Bake for another 3 to 4 minutes, watching the sandwiches carefully until the bread is toasted and crisp and the cheese is melted.
  • The first time you flip these sandwiches, they won't look done at all - the bread will be only slightly brown. But when the sandwiches are done, they will be beautifully crisp and brown on both sides. Serve immediately.
