Grilled Goat Cheese & Arugula Sandwiches

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
To create a more “grown-up” grilled cheese sandwich, I threw in tangy goat cheese and peppery arugula. I enjoy a similar combination on pizza, and it worked here, too! —Jess Apfe, Berkeley, California

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato pesto
  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 1-1/2 cups roasted sweet red peppers, drained and patted dry
  • 8 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1 cup fresh arugula
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened

Directions

  • 1. Spread pesto over 4 slices of bread. Layer with peppers, mozzarella cheese, goat cheese and arugula; top with remaining bread. Spread outsides of sandwiches with butter.
  • 2. In a large skillet, toast sandwiches over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
