This sandwich was inspired by a pizza that I ate from a wonderful local pizza place in Galesburg, Illinois. I lovev the idea of a pistachios, parsley, and red onions together. So, this grilled cheese was born with some perfectly melty cheese (I'm leaning towards saying that taleggio cheese may be the perfect one for any grilled cheese).

I'm dying over the thought of pistachio pesto!!! This looks like a killer sandwich.
Ahh the shot of that pesto in the food processor is gorgeous, it looks so creamy! I looove pesto grilled cheese, this looks wonderful! 🙂
It almost didn't make it to the sandwich 🙂
Oh dear God yes.
What a great combinaion! You can't go wrong with good pesto, bread, and cheese together. This is definitely going onto my menu for next week.
Squee, I am such a pistachio...well...nut, so I had to come by and have a peek. Saw Aurora Importing share it. So glad they did. It's simply stunning and looks to be a two fister when I make it.
Yay for puns! So glad you stopped by and said hi!
oooh yum! Looks like the perfect comfort food. Oh, and that picture with the red onions & pesto on the bread is such a lovely contrast of colors!
Thank you! (and I do love a little color in winter!)
This sandwich needs to be a part of my weekend. Thanks for sharing your culinary genius 🙂
Yum! This looks so good! I just made a sun-dried tomato Pistachio Pesto and fell head over heels for pistachio pesto! This is a must make!
Oh yum! I'll try that next!
Such a stunning recipe!!
What a genius sandwich! Also, the photography = stunning. As always. 🙂

Thanks, Stephanie!
This looks so fabulous! Love this idea!
I have a boatload of pistachios that have pesto in their future... and maybe I'll use kale as the green, since I've got a boatload of that as well.
I think that would be wonderful!
This looks incredible! If only I hadn't already had lunch today! 🙂
Comfort food heaven and sinfully delicious!
I may or may not have had another sandwich for breakfast- just for a little extra comfort 🙂
What an absolutely perfect flavour combination. And those pics? Stunning!
Thanks, Kathryn!
