Grilled Cheese Sammies, Italian Style

To Make these Italian Grilled Cheese Sammies Gather:

• pumpernickel bread
• provolone cheese
• roma tomato
• baby portobello mushrooms
• basil pesto
• butter

Slice your tomatoes thin, so when you bite into the sandwich you can bite through the tomato (and it all won’t slide off the bread, which would be a total shame and possibly a stain!!)

Slice your mushrooms thin too, but don’t worry these won’t stain a bit!

Preheat a pan over medium/ medium low heat. Butter one side of each piece of bread; the trick here is that a thin layer of butter equals a crispier grilled cheese!

First place the bread butter side down on a pre-heated pan.

Layer one slice of provolone cheese…

Roma tomatoes…

Mushrooms…

Pesto…

Then top with the second slice of buttered pumpernickel bread.

Cover with a lid and let the steam help melt the cheese. In a few minutes, flip and cover again. Since pumpernickel is a dark bread, it might look burnt, but it’s not (unless it smells burnt 🙁 that also would be a shame).

All should be fine if you only keep checking on it!

Look at the oooey goooey goodness!

YUM! (I think she is entirely selling this sandwich!)
