1
Roast Tomatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the tomatoes and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for about 20 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
2
Prepare the Bread
Take two slices of sourdough bread and spread a tablespoon of pesto on one side of each slice.

3
Layer the Ingredients
On the non-pesto side of one slice of bread, layer the cheddar cheese, followed by the roasted tomato slices, then the mozzarella cheese, and finally a handful of arugula. Top with the second slice of bread, pesto side down.

4
Grill the Sandwich
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the sandwich. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip and grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden and crispy.

5
Serve
Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious grilled cheese sandwich!
