How to Make Grilled Cheesy Bread

  1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  2. Slice a loaf of bread lengthwise into two equal halves.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter, 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained), 2 tablespoons pesto, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Blend until smooth.
  4. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in 1 cup shredded provolone cheese.
  5. Place bread halves, cut-side down, on the preheated grill. Grill for 1 minute per side, until lightly toasted.
  6. Spread the provolone and sun-dried tomato mixture evenly over the toasted cut sides of the bread.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese over the mixture.
  8. Close the grill lid and cook over indirect medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. (If your grill doesn't have indirect heat, you can place the bread on a cooler part of the grill).
  9. Remove from grill and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
