How To Make Pizza Grilled Cheese

Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese

"This is an amazing grilled cheese sandwich. Seriously. Pepperoni. Mozzarella and sauteed bell peppers, onions and mushrooms all sandwiched between golden garlic toast. Grilled cheese is one of the ultimate comfort foods. Grilled cheese and tomato soup is one of the most comforting meals I can think of. You see, I always dip my grilled cheese in tomato soup. To me it is not a grilled cheese without the bowl of steaming tomato soup sitting next to it.

• 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 4 crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 4 slices crusty french bread
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot cook bell peppers, mushrooms and onions until softened 3 - 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. Use one tablespoon of butter to butter one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle with garlic salt.
3. To make one sandwich place 4 slices of pepperoni on a slice of bread. Place 2 slices of mozzarella on top. Spoon bell pepper and onion mixture over the top. Top with other slice of bread. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
4. Heat remaining tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Once melted, begin grilling sandwiches. Cook until cheese is melted and bread is golden, 3 - 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Enjoy!

Toasted cheese sandwiches with or without the tomato soup are indeed an American classic.  Rekaya Gibson

Nothing truly dysfunctional, mind you - I don't keep mice in my filing drawer (or tequila, for that matter); I don't hum tunelessly to myself all day; and I don't eat salt cod casserole, durian fruit or Epoisse cheese sandwiches to work.

• 1 large ripe tomato, sliced
• semi-soft cheese (mozzarella, Edam, Gouda, Fontina or Provolone would all work)
• 10 fresh basil leaves

Instructions

1. Spread one side of each slice of bread with the chopped tomatoes/passata (use a thin layer only - you don't want the bread to get too soggy)
2. Place thin slices of cheese on each slice of bread (you need some cheese on each side to make the halves stick together when the cheese melts), then cover two of the slices with tomato and basil leaves. Sprinkle dried oregano on all the slices and then sandwich together one cheese and one tomato slice to make two sandwiches.
3. Mash together the butter and minced garlic together with salt and pepper to taste. Spread both outside surfaces of each sandwich with garlic butter.
4. Heat a ridged cast-iron griddle pan on the stove until it is hot, then carefully place the sandwiches in the hot pan. When both sides have good grill marks and the cheese is beginning to ooze out, remove from the pan, slice in half and serve immediately.
