The Tosti Chicken Pesto offers a savory and balanced flavor profile, combining the richness of cheese with the herbaceousness of pesto and the satisfying protein of chicken.
The dominant flavors are the salty, savory taste of the cheese (typically Gouda or a similar melting cheese), the bright, herbaceous, and slightly nutty flavor of the pesto (usually basil-based with pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil), and the mild, savory taste of the chicken. The toasted bread provides a crispy, warm base that complements the other ingredients.

Bread Choice
Opt for a sturdy bread that can withstand toasting without becoming soggy. Sourdough or a slightly denser white bread works well.
Pesto Quality
Use high-quality, fresh pesto for the best flavor. Homemade pesto is ideal, but store-bought pesto can also work well – look for brands with fresh ingredients and vibrant color.
Chicken Preparation
Use cooked chicken breast that is thinly sliced or shredded for even distribution and easy melting of the cheese. Marinating the chicken beforehand can add extra flavor.
Cheese Selection
Choose a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor profile. Gouda, Edam, or mozzarella are good choices.
Proper Toasting
Use a tosti iron or panini press to toast the sandwich until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and gooey. Apply a thin layer of butter or oil on the outside of the bread to ensure even browning.
