Cheese tomato and pesto toastie
This clever toastie recipe uses up slightly stale bread, the last chunk of cheese and the end of a jar of pesto. Quick, easy and super-satisfying.
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp pesto
- 2 slices bread
- 40g/1�oz cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella, grated or sliced
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salad, to serve
Directions:
- Spread the pesto over the bread, then top one slice with the cheese and tomato. Grind over some black pepper and sandwich the two pieces of bread together.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and lower the sandwich into the pan with a spatula. Cook over a low-medium heat for 3 minutes or until the underside of the bread is golden brown and the cheese has begun to melt. Flip the toastie over and cook for 2�3 minutes more or until both sides are golden and the cheese has fully melted.
- Remove from the pan, slice in half and serve hot, with salad.
