Ingredient Substitution Suggestions

We recommend

Recipes with similar ingredients: sourdough bread, walnuts, basil, pesto sauce, lemon zest, Parmesan cheese, turkey, sun-dried tomatoes

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Pesto with garlic:

Combine parsley, basil, walnuts, pepper, garlic, egg, lemon zest, and juice in a blender. Blend until smooth, then slowly drizzle in oil to create a sauce.
Sprinkle the sauce with grated Parmesan and add salt to taste.

Sandwich:

Generously butter the bread. On 4 buttered slices of bread, top with half the cheddar, 4 tablespoons pesto aioli, turkey, sun-dried tomatoes, and the remaining cheddar; top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread.
Preheat the griddle surface to 160-175°C.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the bread-shaped griddle sections, then immediately place the sandwiches on top. Press down with something heavy (like a cast-iron skillet) and cook until the cheese is melted, about 2.5 minutes per side. If the Parmesan-crusted side is difficult to remove with a spatula, cook for another minute, then flip. Slice the sandwiches diagonally and enjoy!
