the classic grilled cheese has gone gourmet with melty Provolone and Monterrey Jack cheese livened up with the great taste of basil pesto.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/3 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 3/4 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
- 8 slices white hearty bread
- 4 tablespoons margarine or butter
- 1/4 cup pesto

Instructions
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Toss the cheeses together in a mixing bowl. Place four slices of bread on a cutting board or plate. Lightly butter each slice. Flip two of them over and spread the other side lightly with pesto. Sprinkle a very generous pinch of cheese mixture over the pesto, then place two or three slices of salami over the cheese.
