Italian Style Grilled Cheese

Italian Style Grilled Cheese

There are a few things that I seem to always have in my kitchen.. bread (or in my case GF bread), mozzarella cheese, and Cucina Aurora olive oil. Although sometimes I run out of my own oil, I do try to keep a bottle or two in the pantry in case of 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!
