1
Make the Basil Pesto
In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, Grana Padano cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

2
Prepare the Sourdough
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly brush one side of each slice of sourdough bread with olive oil. Spread a generous amount of basil pesto on the unbrushed side of each slice.
3
Grill the Bread
Place the slices of sourdough on the grill, pesto side up. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden and crispy. Flip and grill the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
