Let’s make my Pesto Grilled Cheese with Charred Zucchini!
There is something so comforting about a melty grilled cheese! My Pesto Grilled Cheese with Charred Zucchini is no exception!
You might be thinking, zucchini on a grilled cheese… are you crazy!? But honestly it is SO GOOD! The crispy charred zucchini gives the grilled cheese a great bite while the pesto punches you in the face with flavour!
Honestly, you guys have to try this! It is so SIMPLE and FAST to make!
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of your favourite bread
- Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- 2-3 thinly sliced strips of Zucchini
- 1-2 tsp Pesto, homemade or store bought
- Butter
- Olive Oil
Method:
Lengthwise, slice thin strips of zucchini (approximately 1/4 inch thick and 3-4 inches in length).
Lightly drizzle olive oil into a pan and heat over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the strips of zucchini and cook until each side is crispy and delicious (approximately 3 minutes per side). Set aside.
Spread a light amount of butter onto the outside of each slice of bread. On the inside portion of the bread, layer on the shredded mozzarella cheese (you can use as little or as much cheese as you like) and crispy charred zucchini. Spread the pesto over the inside portion of the other slice of bread and place it on top of the mozzarella and zucchini to create a sandwich.
In a nonstick pan, cook the grilled cheese sandwiches over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melty!
Slice the grilled cheese in half and enjoy!!
