Bacon, Pesto, Tomato, and Mozzarella Grilled Cheese

This a truly amazing sandwich. Not too surprising though, since it's just bacon, mozzarella, pesto, and tomato grilled into one sandwich. Will definitely make this again when we have pesto on hand.




Ingredients:

1/4 cup pesto
4 slices sourdough bread
1 medium tomato, sliced thin
4 ounces mozzarella, sliced thin 8 slices (I used shredded, just because it was all I had on hand)
8 slices fried or baked bacon
2 Tbsp. butter

Directions:

1. Heat a large skillet over medium or medium-low heat (depending on how hot your stove is).
2. Spread pesto and butter over opposite sides of all 4 bread slices.
3. Top each sandwich with a portion of bacon, tomatoes, and cheese.
4. Carefully cap each sandwich and place on warm skillet.
5. Cook until bread is crisp and golden and cheese melts, about 5 minutes per side. Halve and serve.

This recipe was adapted from a similar recipe using ciabatta bread at Three Many Cooks (http://threemanycooks.com/recipes/meaty-mains/sisters-sandwich/).
