The Fancy Nancy Grilled Cheese

Instructions

Parmesan Pesto:

1. Place basil, pine nuts, garlic and salt into food processor; cover and pulse until finely chopped. While processing, slowly drizzle in olive oil until smooth. Add parmesan; cover and pulse until blended.

Balsamic Reduction:

1. Bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in honey; simmer, uncovered, stirring until balsamic-honey mixture is reduced by half and slightly thickened. Remove from the heat. Cool slightly.

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches:

1. Spread 1 tablespoon pesto on each bread slice. Layer four bread slices with mozzarella, bacon and gorgonzola. Drizzle each with balsamic reduction. Top with remaining bread slices pesto side down. Spread mayonnaise on the outside of sandwiches, lightly pressing together. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pesto; save for a different recipe.
2. Toast one sandwich, covered, in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes or until side is golden brown. Flip sandwich; cook, uncovered, 2-4 minutes longer or until bread is golden brown and cheeses are melted. Repeat step with remaining sandwiches.
