Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup fresh dill fronds
1 cup fresh parsley leaves, loosely packed
1 clove garlic
¼ cup walnuts
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ lemon, juiced
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon cabot unsalted butter, softened
2 slices sourdough bread
½ cup Cabot Garlic and Dill Cheddar Cheese, finely shredded
1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the pesto: Add the dill, parsley, garlic, walnuts, salt, and lemon juice to a high-powered blender or food processor and pulse, scraping down the sides as needed, until roughly chopped.
  • Turn the blender or food processor on medium speed and slowly pour in the olive oil, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed. Blend for 1-2 minutes, until the pesto is smooth. The pesto will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Make the grilled cheese: Spread one side of each slice of bread with ½ tablespoon butter, then spread ½ teaspoon pesto on top of the butter on each slice.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the pan, then spread with ¼ cup (10 g) pesto and top with the Cabot Garlic and Dill Cheddar Cheese. Cover with the other slice of bread, buttered side up.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown, then use a spatula to flip the sandwich and and cook for 3-5 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted. Remove from the pan and let rest for 1 minute before slicing.
  • Sprinkle with the dill and serve.
  • Enjoy!
