You ready to step up your grilled cheese game? Add this Sun-dried Tomato Basil Pesto!


I love a good grilled cheese sandwich, ESPECIALLY on homemade Honey Wheat bread. But I upgraded my sandwich last week by adding this pesto to it, and...dang. It didn’t disappoint


With this pesto You still get that classic basil taste, plus the acidity and extra ‘brightness’ of sun-dried tomatoes. I also subbed out some of the ingredients for ones that I’m guessing more people have on hand and that are more cost effective. Authentic Italian food lovers- don’t come after me!


This isn’t just for sprucing up a sandwich though! Use it as a spread for your loaf of bread, on top of grilled chicken, or in a pasta salad would be delicious.
