Pizza Grilled Cheese Recipe
Enjoy a mouthwatering twist on classic comfort food with Pizza Grilled Cheese. This recipe brings together gooey mozzarella, zesty pizza sauce, and crisp sourdough for a savory delight. Perfect for all who love a cheesy, toasty meal with a hint of your favorite pizza flavors.
Ingredients:
- Sourdough bread
- Pizza sauce (the recipe suggests using a homemade Easy Pizza Sauce, but store-bought is fine too)
- Mozzarella cheese slices
- Butter
- Margherita Genoa Salami®
- Margherita Pepperoni®
Instructions:
Prep Your Ingredients:
Make sure all your ingredients are ready. If you’re preparing your own pizza sauce, do that in advance to save time. Take the mozzarella cheese slices, Margherita Genoa Salami, and Margherita Pepperoni out of the refrigerator.
Butter the Bread:
Butter each slice of sourdough bread on one side. You’ll need about a tablespoon of butter for each sandwich you’re making. Alternatively, you can use mayo for this step if you prefer.
Assemble the Sandwich:
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, and spread a tablespoon or two of pizza sauce over the surface. The amount of sauce will depend on the size of your bread. Arrange mozzarella cheese slices over the sauce, followed by the Margherita Genoa Salami and Margherita Pepperoni. For this recipe, about 5 slices of the salami and 4 slices of the thick-cut pepperoni are used. Add another layer of mozzarella cheese and a bit more pizza sauce on top for extra flavor.
Heat Your Pan:
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Non-stick pans are preferred, but a well-seasoned cast iron pan can work too, just be mindful of the heat.
Grill the Sandwich:
Carefully transfer the sandwich (with all the fillings) to the hot pan, placing the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up. Grill for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until the bread is toasty, crispy, and browned and the cheese has melted deliciously.
Serving Suggestions:
This pizza grilled cheese pairs wonderfully with veggie chips and ranch dressing for dipping. You could also serve it with carrot sticks or a fresh salad on the side.
Additional Tips:
- The recipe creator mentions using their own homemade Easy 5 Minute Pizza Sauce but reassures that store-bought pizza sauce will taste good too.
- The combination of tangy pizza sauce, melty cheese, crispy sourdough, and savory meats makes this a crowd-pleaser perfect for game days, snacks, or entertaining.
- Consider cutting the sandwich into small squares for easy serving if you’re hosting.
Now you have a simple yet delicious way to combine the comfort of grilled cheese with the flavors of pizza. Enjoy making and eating your Pizza Grilled Cheese!
