Mozzarella, Tomato, Pesto Grilled Cheese!

The recipe that I pinned for this treat was way too complicated so I simplified it for my life. My first step was to go to the store and get my ingredients. I cut it down to four ingredients. I got a whole tomato, whole grain bread, shredded mozzarella, and pesto sauce.

Here's my reasoning. Whole mozzarella is way too expensive for a poor college student like myself. Shredded mozzarella is cheaper and easier to store and use for other recipes. Homemade pesto sauce is probably really delicious but I don't have the time or the money for the ingredients (pine nuts?!). They have pre-made pesto sauce in the fancy cheese section next to the deli.  So I paid about ten dollars total for the ingredients. I ended up getting two tomatoes and made 4-6 sandwiches. (I got tired of the recipe after two so I made pesto pizza using pita bread for the left over ingredients!)

The verdict: Absolutely delicious. There is something I love about pesto sauce that makes everything so amazing. This was seriously the best grilled cheese I'd ever had. I will definitely be making this again.
