Time 20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 loaf Italian bread (10 to 12 inch)
1/3 cup refrigerated basil pesto (from 7-oz container)
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (3 oz)

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 18x18-inch sheet of heavy-duty foil. Cut loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Spread each half with pesto. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Place bread, cheese sides together, on foil; wrap securely using double fold seals, allowing room for heat expansion.
  • When grill is heated, place wrapped bread on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals; cover grill. Cook 10 to 12 minutes, rotating and turning over occasionally, until bread is warm and cheese is melted.
  • Carefully unwrap bread to allow steam to escape. Separate loaf into 2 halves; cut each into 6 pieces. Serve immediately.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The bread is crispy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside. The pesto adds a delicious garlicky flavor.
