    Tilapia Sandwich with Spinach Basil Pesto is one of the hot sandwiches that we like to eat and my kids always claim for it. A delicious sandwich made with a grilled Tilapia and tasty pesto.

    I like to add to it, depending on the season, some slice of tomatoes. This gives some nice moisture and color to the sandwich.

    When the sandwich is ready I recommend slicing this in two. It will be easier to eat with this kind of bread.

    • Cut the bread in half horizontally. On each slice of bread spread some spinach basil pesto. On the bottom slice, put slices of onions, a little bit of Swiss cheese, some Tilapia filets, and the remaining bread slice on top. Press a little bit.
    • Put the four sandwiches on a stone pizza or cookie sheet and cook for about 15 min.
    • Remove from the oven and cut them in half. I like to serve them with a salad on the side.
