Campfire Caprese Grilled Cheese
A twist on a classic grilled cheese, this caprese sandwich adds pesto and tomato for a quick and simple campsite meal.
Ingredients
-
1 cup shredded smoked mozzarella cheese
-
3 tablespoons prepared pesto
-
4 large slices whole-wheat country bread, cut in half, or 8 small slices
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
8 thin slices tomato
Instructions
-
Combine cheese and pesto in a small bowl. Evenly spread the mixture onto half the bread slices. Top with the remaining bread. Brush both sides of each sandwich with oil. Individually wrap in heavy-duty foil.
-
Prepare a campfire and let it burn down to the coals. Add 2 tomato slices to each sandwich and rewrap in the foil. Cook the sandwiches 4 to 6 inches above the coals, pressing down with a spatula and flipping a few times until the cheese is melted and the bread is crisped, 10 to 15 minutes. Open carefully. Serve hot.
