Gourmet Grilled Cheese

Grilled cheese is an easy meal that is hearty and satisfying, but some times a basic grill cheese is just a little too basic. It is not hard to spice up a grill cheese. First you are going to get fresh bread and slice two slices. Butter one side of both pieces of bread… on the other side of the bread spread pesto on both pieces. (Learn how to make homemade pesto on a previous post). Next put a layer of sliced tomatoes, then put a layer of gouda cheese, thinly sliced avocado, and finally put the other piece of bread to close the sandwich. Make sure the pan is hot and put the sandwich in the pan. When the one side is toasted to your preference flip the sandwich and let the other side cook. Then wa-la, you got yourself a yummy treat.

Homemade Pesto

Pesto is a great thing to have in the fridge so you can quickly cook pasta and have a tasty meal in minutes! The great thing about Pesto is that you can adjust the ingredients to your taste. The materials you need are…lots of basil (because this is base of the pesto), olive oil, salt and pepper, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts and garlic. You combine all the ingredients together and put as much or little olive oil as you want depending if you want a more liquid-y pesto or not. When all the ingredients are together in a bowl you blend them together. At home I make the pesto in a blender but at our apartment in Barcelona there is a handheld blender so I put the ingredients in a bowl. Once you have blended the ingredients into a smooth consistency taste it and decide if you want any more of anything. Enjoy!
