Pesto-Crusted Grilled Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/3 cup mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons jarred pesto sauce
    8 sourdough bread, slices
    4 slices Fontina cheese, slices*
    1 (12 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
    4 slices cheddar cheese
Preparation
    Stir together mayonnaise and pesto sauce. (**Note: the pesto is a little salty--some might like it that way. However, I would suggest using between 1 and 2 tablespoons of pesto and see how you like it!).
    Spread evenly on 1 side of each sourdough bread slice.
    Place 4 bread slices, pesto sides down, on wax paper.
    Layer 4 bread slices on wax paper each with 1 fontina cheese slice, bell peppers, and 1 Cheddar cheese slice; top with remaining bread slices, pesto sides up.
    Cook sandwiches, in batches, on a hot griddle or in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, gently pressing with a spatula, 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cheese melts.
    *Provolone or mozzarella cheese slices may be substituted.
