• 1 slice American cheese
• 2 slices Italian bread
• 1 tablespoon softened butter, divided
• 1 tablespoon prepared pesto sauce, divided
• 1 slice provolone cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Gently fry the sandwich, flipping once, until both sides of the bread are golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.

Step 2

Spread butter on one side of a slice of bread and place it, buttered side down, into a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Spread the top of the bread slice in the skillet with 1/2 of the pesto sauce. Place provolone cheese, tomato, and American cheese onto the pesto, stacking in that order.

Step 4

Spread remaining pesto sauce on one side of the second slice of bread, and place it, pesto side down, onto the sandwich in the pan. Butter the top side of the bread.
