There are few things I make in the kitchen that taste better than a simple grilled sandwich. Sometimes though, the bread is so good that I’m inspired to jazz it up a bit. Especially when I’m using a loaf of Ace Bakery bread from Toronto and this recipe from the award winning Ace Bakery Cookbook!
ACE Grilled Cheese Sandwich
4 slices olive bread or 4 slices country bread with 10 pitted and sliced kalamata olives
1 and one half tablespoon of store bought pesto
4 to 5 tablespoons of creamy chevre
1 or 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced thickly
freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Spread two pieces of the bread with the pesto. Next spread a generous amount of the chevre over the dip. If using country bread sprinkle on the olives.
Layer on the tomatoes and some black pepper. Top with the other two slices of bread. Brush with olive oil and grill in a grill pan or fry in a cast iron skillet or sauté pan. For best results set the heat of the pan to medium.
Cut in half and serve with a flourish!
