Servings and Ingredients

Ingredients
Serves 4
QuantityIngredientAdd
8 (1/2-inch-thick each) slices Baking Stone Asiago Batard bread
2 tbsp. basil pesto
4 oz. Gruyere cheese, sliced, divided
2 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced, divided
4 slice(s) Hy-Vee mild cheddar cheese, divided
4 tbsp. Hy-Vee unsalted butter, softened

Directions

  1. Spread one side of each bread slice with pesto. Place one-fourth of sliced Gruyere cheese, one-fourth of tomato slices and 1 slice cheddar cheese on top of 4 of the pesto-spread bread slices. Top each with remaining bread slices, pesto side down. Spread both sides of each sandwich with butter.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each sandwich for 2 minutes or until bottoms are golden. Turn sandwiches over; cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until bottoms are golden and cheese is melted. (Adjust heat as necessary to prevent overbrowning.)
