Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich (Panini) image

Mmmm... mozzarella! Try this grilled cheese sandwich with the Italian twist! If you haven't tried it before, pesto is one of the best condiments to use on a hot sandwich. Instead of cooking the sandwiches in a skillet, you can use your panini press just as easily. This recipe is from a Canadian cheese magazine. Enjoy!

This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover pesto. I always have a jar of pesto in my fridge, so this sandwich is a lifesaver on busy weeknights.
