  1. Smear ½ tablespoon of the pesto on each slice of bread.
  2. Place a slice of cheese on one slice of bread and top with ¼ cup of broccoli.
  3. Place slice of cheese on top of broccoli and add another ¼ cup of broccoli on top on that.
  4. Top with another slice of cheese and remaining slice of bread.

Notes

Use your favorite cheese, I used a mixture of Cotswold and Cheddar. Number of cheese slices you get will vary depending how thin they are sliced. I sliced mine with a mandoline so I had about 4-5 slices. Cooking times will vary. You can also place sandwich in a swallow bowl and cover bowl with saran wrap.
