A hearty, irresistibly melty grilled cheese combining brie, cheddar and mozzarella with pesto and fresh basil. All tucked between two perfectly golden slices of L’Héritage bread.

Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:

  • 4 slices of Mie et Cie L’Héritage bread
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) basil pesto
  • 50 g brie, thinly sliced
  • 50 g cheddar, thinly sliced
  • 50 g mozzarella, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) butter, softened
  • A few fresh basil leaves

Make sure you have all the ingredients on hand before you begin preparing the recipe.

Directions

  1. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Turn the slices over and spread pesto on the unbuttered side.
  3. Top two slices with brie, cheddar and mozzarella.
  4. Close the sandwiches with the remaining two slices, buttered side facing out.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the sandwiches for 4–5 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheeses have melted.
  6. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf, cut in half and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

To melt all three cheeses without burning the bread, cook the sandwich over medium-low heat and cover the skillet for the first few minutes.
