Nann Grilled Cheese

 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.

In food processor mix olive oil, arugula, parmesan cheese, walnuts and lemon juice

Pre- heat the Panini press

Carefully split the Naan Bread with a serrated knife

Layered pesto on one side 2 slices proscicutto and 2 oz of fontinella cheese on the other side

Closed together and placed on the hot paninii press – I sprayed the press with a little olive oil

I cooked on low/medium

I cut the sandwich into 4 squares and served with a little apple and arugula salad

 Please let me know how you like this recipe on facebook or instagram – I look forward to hearing your comments…thanks!
