Pesto and Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine macadamia nuts, basil leaves, garlic, and salt. Pulse until coarsely chopped. While the processor is running, gradually add olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Stir in Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of macadamia nut pesto on one side of each slice of bread. Layer sliced tomatoes and sprouts on top of the pesto on one slice. Place the other slice on top, pesto side down.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut in half, and serve immediately.
