Grilled Goat Cheese and Roasted Red Pepper Pesto Sandwich

[heart_this] · Nov 12, 2010 · 31 Comments

Grilled Goat Cheese and Roasted Red Pepper Pesto Sandwich

I had a bit of goats cheese to use and I was thinking about just crumbling it over a salad but then I thought, no I can do something more creative with this. While I was looking through my fridge for ideas I noticed some of the red peppers that I had roasted and frozen in the fall and I knew that the sweet and smoky roasted red peppers would go perfectly with the tangy goat cheese. Right beside the red peppers was some bread and I recalled my experiments with pestos in grilled cheese sandwiches and I knew that I would have to try making a grilled goat cheese and roasted red pepper pesto sandwich. Five minutes later I had a batch of roasted red pepper pesto and a few minutes after that I was enjoying a little piece of heaven in my mouth, well, after taking some photographs that is. I made sure to bring the goat cheese up to room temperature before making the sandwich and by the time it came off the grill pan it was just starting to get all melty and good! The creaminess of the goat cheese played really well with the sweet and flavourful pesto and the buttery, crispy fried bread coating finished everything off perfectly.

    I love how the pesto is basically falling out of that sandwich. Looks so appealing.

    That sounds amazing. It's like a really kicked up grilled cheese sandwich. Much more original than tossing the goat cheese on top of a salad. Especially comforting now that winter is almost here.

    You had me at goat cheese. Mmmm. I've just recently got on the goat cheese band wagon and adore it (my fav is homemade sundried tomato pesto over creamy goat cheese). I'll give this sandwich a try.
