Food Fridays on Empty Streets: Pesto Sandwich



I Just had my favorite Pesto sandwich from Le Cour De France the other day and decided to share with you how this delicious sandwich can also be made at home and of course a lot cheaper.



Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto sauce
  • 2 slices sourdough bread, lightly toasted
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 slice provolone cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded smoked mozzarella cheese
  • 1 lettuce leaf
  • 2 slices tomato
Procedure:

Spread a thin layer of pesto sauce onto one side of one piece of bread. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise onto one side of the other piece of bread. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the pesto and mayonnaise. Layer the provolone and mozzarella cheese onto one slice, top with lettuce and tomato, and the other slice of bread.



Now I know that for a lot of us Pesto can be a bit pricey to obtain fresh and personally I use the one from McCormick but for those of our that would prefer to try to make the pesto on their own here is a video tutorial on how to make your own delicious Pesto:
