INGREDIENTS

Pesto

1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed

¼ cup almonds, whole

2 tbsp parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic

1 tbsp lemon juice

3 tbsp olive oil

Sea salt and pepper, to taste

 

To assemble (per sandwich)

1 oz Laura Chenel Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Goat Cheese

Fresh arugula

Tomato, thinly sliced

DIRECTIONS

  1. Make the pesto: Combine basil, almonds, cheese, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender. Pulse until it begins to form a paste. With the motor running, slowly stream in the olive oil, adding water, if necessary, to combine. Season to taste.
  2. Heat oil in a nonstick fry pan over medium-low heat. Spread cheese on one slice of Bread SRSLY sourdough. Top with arugula and tomato. Spread 1 tbsp pesto on the remaining bread, and sandwich them together.
  3. Transfer sandwich to the pan, cook over low heat until the bread begins to crisp, and the cheese begins to melt, about 5-7 minutes on each side.
  4. Enjoy!
