Cheese & Parma Ham Toasties with Basil Pesto
There isn't much that a tantalising hit of Pesto can't improve, and these Italian-style toasties are a great example. Using Parma ham and a good dollop of our Classic Basil Pesto, a simple lunch becomes an oozy, herby gourmet delight.
Buon Appetito
Ingredients
- 4 thick slices bread
- 1 pot or 2 tbsp. Sacla’ Classic Basil Pesto
- 50g Cheddar, sliced
- 2 slices parma ham
- Butter for spreading
Method
- Spread one side of each slice of bread with Sacla’ Pesto
- Layer the cheese and then the ham on 2 of the slices then top with remaining bread, Pesto-side down
- Spread the outside of the bread with a little butter
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and cook the toasties for 4-5 minutes on one side, until bread underneath is toasted (press down gently with a spatula so they cook evenly)
- Flip the toasties over and cook on the other side for a few more minutes until bread is toasted and cheese has melted
- Cut in half diagonally and serve straight away
