Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Grilled cheese sandwiches are always a favourite. Yet, let’s kick that up a notch, shall we? How about a recipe for Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich? Mmmm!
Adding that Italian flaire, these are oozing with mozzarella and gives such a great flavour when combined with basil pesto and tomatoes.
It just takes 4 ingredients to make, which makes it super easy to prepare. I make mine with Dempster’s 100% whole wheat bread and side with creamy tomato soup.
Keep in mind, these sandwiches are flavorful and filling, so a half might do. Which leaves another half for a lunch-mate. Great meals are meant to be shared, right?
Enjoy!

Grilled cheese sandwiches, one of my all time favourites and this looks delicious
Making these for lunch today 🙂
OOO – with Depsters #VeggieBread – would be really good – I Pinned.
Yummy, love the combination in this sandwich. Will have to try making it!
We all love grilled cheese sandwiches in our house and your recipe looks awesome. I make mine using Goat Cheese sometimes and it’s become a family fave. Thanks for sharing your recipe, I will try it for sure.
Looks So good! I am going to have to try this one!
oOH THIS looks so good. I have been looking for a good panini recipe thank you.
This little sandwich caught my eye. I have never used pesto. But I love grilled cheese, kind of a comfort sandwich! This might be a “serve to guests so I look like I really know how to cook” kind of sandwich!
I need a panini press. I am always spending my hard earned money on panini sandwiches! This sandwich looks so good. Anything with hot gooey mozzarella cheese is great tasting!
Oh my, this looks AMAZING! This makes me wish I had a Panini press! I might have to try making it in a pan instead. Looks delish! Thanks for sharing!
great idea, love making grilled cheese more than just simplicity! I am hungry now.
Just love grilled cheese sandwiches, I also have a thin slice of onion in mine
HAHAHA A half might do? I’ll be having two… just for me!
OMG, I want to make this, right now! YUM!
I can’t believe that was made from such simple ingredients, it looks like restaurant quality. I’ll have to try it since my son seems bored of regular grilled cheeses
