INSTRUCTIONS

1
Build the sandwiches

Lay sourdough on clean work surface. Spread butter on one side of each slice and sprinkle with parmesan. Flip sourdough over, spread cashew cheese on 2 slices, and top with as many slices of tomato as you'd like. Spread pesto on 2 remaining slices of sourdough. Gently close sandwiches, parmesan side out.

2
Grill the sandwiches

Transfer sandwiches to large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook until golden brown and cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut sandwiches in half and serve. (TIP: If your bread is getting too dark but cheese hasnā€™t melted yet, lower your heat.)
