Toastie with Double Cream Truffle & Tomato Pesto

Ingredients

8 slices of toast bread
2 tbsp of oil for toasting

Tomato pesto

100 g semi-dried tomatoes
1 garlic clove
2 sprigs of rosemary, stems removed
4 tsp olive oil
0.5 - 1 tbsp lemon juice
1 anchovy fillet
salt
pepper

Preparation

Heat the oven to 150°C.

Add all the pesto ingredients (except for the salt, pepper and lemon juice) into a food processor or hand blender. Process until you have a reasonably smooth mixture (you still want it to be a little bit chunky). Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon. You now have a perfect pesto.

Spread a thin layer of the pesto on the bread before adding thin slices of cheese. Close with another slice of bread.

In a little oil, fry each sandwich on each side until golden. This will only take a short time, but make sure the cheese is completely melted, it should then have a couple of minutes in the oven.

Tips & Tricks

If you are making lots of sandwiches, then reduce the oven temperature to 110-120°C. Then it will keep them hot.
