INSTRUCTIONS
Lay sourdough on clean work surface. Spread butter on one side of each slice and sprinkle with parmesan. Flip sourdough over, spread with cashew cheese, and top with as many slices of tomato as you'd like. Spread pesto on two remaining slices of sourdough. Gently close sandwiches, parmesan-side out.
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 hasn’t melted yet, lower your heat.)
