Italian Style Grilled Cheese
This sandwich is the love child of mozzarella sticks and pizza. Since I always have mozzarella cheese, garlic infused olive oil and a jar of marinara sauce on hand in case of an emergency. Sometimes, an emergency means I am simply in need of a warm meal in under 5 minutes! So here is a solution to the common “what to eat” question. A hearty, warm, toasty, melty sandwich with Italian flavor and a touch of magic!
- 4 slices of whole wheat bread or Gluten Free bread
- 3 TBSP Cucina Aurora Roasted Garlic infused Olive Oil
- 8 oz shredded Mozzarella cheese (or 4 slices provolone cheese)
- 2 slices thin sliced salami (No Nitrate, No MSG, Uncured, Organic such as Applegate Farms)
- 1/4 cup Magical Marinara for dipping
- Heat medium skillet on medium heat.
- In a shallow salad plate, pour olive oil.
- Coat each slice of bread on one side by dipping in olive oil.
- Place bread oil side down on warm skillet.
- Layer each slice of bread with equal amounts cheese and salami
- When cheese beings to just melt, place one slice of bread on top of the other to form a sandwich.
- Brown evenly on each side of sandwich about another 30 seconds. Serve warm and dunk into warm marinara sauce and ENJOY!
