IMG_3667 Another national food holiday is on the horizon...

April 12 th - National Grilled Cheese Day

My tribute to the grilled cheese is actually a Panini on Naan Tandoori Bread.

I guess it's actually a "Naan Grilled Cheese" 🙂

 I layered Fontinella cheese and a few slices of prosciutto on the Naan bread and then I slathered it with a walnut and arugula pesto. Make this vegetarian without the prosciutto and just add extra cheese and a few apple slices.

I'm sharing my pesto recipe today and will show with pictures how I made the grilled cheese with the Panini maker.
