Grilled Pull Apart Pesto, Tomato, and Mozzarella Sandwiches

We made this while camping this weekend and it was just amazing. So full of flavor and so very easy to make. The nice thing about this recipe is that you can stuff the sandwiches full of whatever ingredients you want. This way everyone gets exactly what they want.



INGREDIENTS:

1  round or oval shaped loaf of italain or sourdough bread
1/2 jar pesto
3-4 medium tomatoes sliced
16oz or 2 balls of fresh mozzarella

DIRECTIONS:
1.  Pre-heat gas grill or charcoal coals for medium heat.
2.  Slice the bread into 12-14 slices making sure not to cut all the way through to the bottom.
3.  Spread pesto between every other slice to create 6-7 sandwiches.
4.  Stuff the pesto pockets with tomato and mozzzarella.
5.  Spray a piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray.  Make sure the foil is large enough to enclose the whole loaf of breaqd.
6.  Wrap the bread in foil loosely and place on the grill.  If using charcoal, it would be best to used indirect heat by putting an aluminum foil tray in the bottom of the grill and spreading the coals around the outside.
7.  Grill the bread 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is warm and crispy on the outside.
8.  Slice or pull apart individual sandwiches and enjoy.
