SANDWICH ESSENTIALS: GRILLED CHEESE - PIZZA STYLE

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. You will need a small skillet to make this recipe.
• 3. Homemade Mayonnaise To be sure, there are some good store-bought mayo's on the market (my all-time favorite is Duke's) If you live in the South, you have probably seen it on the shelves of your local grocer; however, as you travel North, it becomes as scarce as hen's teeth. If you would like to take a stab at making your own (it really is not all that difficult), check out this recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/spread/mayonnaise-essentials-faux-duke-s-version.html?r=1 Pizza Sauce If you are looking for a good Italian pizza sauce, check this one out: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/italian-essentials-sardinian-pizza-sauce.html?r=2
• 4. What about the cheese? I used a mix of mozzarella, provolone, and mild colby, you could use any combination you choose; however, because it is supposed to be a "pizza" grilled cheese I think one of the choices should be mozzarella, or provolone.
• 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 6. Brush 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise on a slice of bread and lay it mayo-side down into a cold pan. Then brush the top portion of the bread with 1 tablespoon of the pizza sauce, followed by the cheese and pepperonis.
• 7. Add the second tablespoon of pizza sauce on a side of the other slice of bread and place it, sauce-side down on top of the other slice, and brush the remaining mayo on top.
• 8. Set pan to medium, and as it cooks, flip it a few times until the cheese is gooey and melty, and the bread toasty brown, a few minutes on each side.
• 9. PLATE/PRESENT
• 10. Cut up and serve with some warm pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy.
• 11. Keep the faith and keeping cooking.

PEPPERONI PIZZA GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Lay out 2 slices of bread.
• Place 7 pepperonis on one slice of bread.
• Top pepperoni with 2 Tablespoons marinara sauce.
• Lay 2 fresh mozzarella slices over sauce, then place 2 tomato slices on mozzarella.
• Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese over everything, then top with other slice of bread.
• Spread garlic butter (or if you don't have garlic butter, regular unsalted butter will work great) on one side of the sandwich and place that side down on the preheated griddle.
• Then butter the slice on top so it will brown when you flip it over.
• Grill until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted (about 2-4 minutes per side).
• Repeat all the steps for the other 3 sandwiches.
• Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
