Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the pesto:

  • 6 ounces button mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the grilled cheese:

  • Butter
  • Sourdough bread
  • Slices provolone cheese
  • Mushroom pesto

Instructions

For the pesto:

  • Blitz everything in a blender or food processor until smooth.

For each sandwich:

  • Butter two slices of bread on one side. Spread the pesto on the opposite side of one slice bread, add 1-2 slices of cheese, then top with the other slice of bread. Fry on the stove over medium heat for about 3 minutes a side, or until golden brown.
  • Leftover pesto can be used as a dip for veggies, a pasta sauce, or mixed into scrambled eggs. When storing in the fridge, add a thin layer of olive oil to the top to help prevent an unattractive browning of the pesto. If you forget, you can just scrape the darker portions off.
