Sharing my Italian Grilled Cheese recipe that I always pair with a traditional tomato basil soup. Perfect meals for cold, rainy fall days. The pesto on these makes it extra delicious. If you aren’t a fan of the soup, I add a side ramekin of marina for dipping.
Italian Grilled Cheese
This is a great recipe that can easily be modified. I love this Italian spin on a traditional grilled cheese. It's quick and can be accompanied by a small side salad or a cup of tomato soup.
