Pesto Grilled Cheese is a flavourful cheese sandwich recipe.

This grilled cheese sandwich is filled with a combination of shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

This basil pesto grilled cheese recipe takes about 15 minutes from start to finish.

To make this basil pesto grilled cheese, I started by dumping some shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheeses into a mixing bowl.

I added some basil pesto to the bowl.

I stirred until all of the ingredients were combined.

Then I spread softened butter onto four slices of bread.

I flipped two of the slices of bread over so that they were butter side down.

I divided the pesto and cheese mixture evenly between the two slices of bread.

Then I placed the remaining two slices of bread, butter side up, on top of the cheese to form two sandwiches.

I placed the sandwiches in a large saute pan over low heat.

When the bottoms were golden brown I flipped the sandwiches.

I continued cooking the sandwiches until both sides were nicely browned.

Then I removed the pan from the heat.

I served the sandwiches immediately so that the cheese would be nice and gooey.
