It’s time for May’s installment of the Crazy Cooking Challenge, hosted by Tina at Mom’s Crazy Cooking. This month we are making Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. Who would have thought that this humble, but delicious sandwich could be so versatile? When I started searching for recipes, I was surprised at just how many there were! The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination. It was hard for me to choose, but I finally settled on a yummy looking recipe over at, An Edible Symphony. One of my favorite things to pair a grilled cheese sandwich with is tomato soup, so when I seen that her recipe had tomato slices right in the sandwich, I was hooked. I wasn’t disappointed either. This sandwich definitely rocked, and I didn’t miss the soup at all!

Grilled Mozzarella Cheese and Tomato Sandwich

2 slices rye bread (I used my homemade white bread)
1 quarter-inch slice mozzarella
1 small tomato, cut into thick slices
1-2 Tbsp. basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)
Fresh ground black pepper
light olive oil

If you have a panini press, turn it on to warm up; otherwise, set a skillet over medium heat.

Assemble sandwich by smearing insides of bread slices with pesto. Arrange a layer of sliced tomato and season with a few turns of fresh pepper. Layer the mozzarella slice over the top and then place another piece of bread on top to make the sandwich.

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over skillet’s surface and place sandwich on the hot skillet or panini press. If using a skillet, place another heavy skillet over the top to form a “press”. Turn after 2 to 3 minutes and replace weight. The sandwich is ready when golden brown and mozzarella has melted around the edges.
