THE pesto pickle sandwich

I promise I’m not crazy, please don’t judge me on this one! I am a firm believer of the phrase “don’t knock it til ya try it”…..that’s my credo (“we’re the millers”, anyone?)

ANYWAY – if you like pickles, I bet you’ll LOOOVE this sandwich. The saltiness of the pickles, pesto and the feta + warm, melted mozzarella + crispy buttery bread = big flavors for your taste buds. trust me on this one…

PS, I created this masterpiece while I was in college, ballin’ on a budget.

makes 2 sandwiches

4 slices of bread (I used sourdough, it’s what I had on hand)
8 pickles
1/2 cup pesto (store-bought works just fine!)
1/3 cup feta cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
salt & pepper
butter

1. Set the pickles on a paper towel and pat dry – you don’t want a soggy sandwich!
2. Butter one side of each piece of bread, season well with salt & pepper
3. Heat skillet over medium-high heat, place bread butter side down and add mozzarella cheese, pickles (vertically), feta, and spoonfuls of pesto last.
4. Top with other slice of bread (butter side up) let cook for about 2 minutes and then flip and cook another 2 minutes (or until cheese has melted and bread is lightly browned)
5. Eat yo sammich

Side note look at my cutie patootie assistant helping me stage my food!
