Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Grilled cheese sandwiches are always a favourite. Yet, let’s kick that up a notch, shall we? How about a recipe for Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich? Mmmm!

A plate of food, with Cheese and Sandwich

Adding that Italian flaire, these are oozing with mozzarella and gives such a great flavour when combined with basil pesto and tomatoes.

It just takes 4 ingredients to make, which makes it super easy to prepare. I make mine with Dempster’s 100% whole wheat bread and side with creamy tomato soup.

Keep in mind, these sandwiches are flavorful and filling, so a half might do. Which leaves another half for a lunch-mate. Great meals are meant to be shared, right?

Enjoy!

  1. I think I just died a little bit! LOL
    Those are a MUST try 🙂

  2. That looks so delicious. I never buy mozzarella like that. I usually buy the blocks. Is it so much better?

    1. I much prefer this Mozza, it’s softer, melts better {think strings of cheese}, and seems to have a longer span before it shows age.

      1. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
        I love it when it’s super stringy.. I should try this. Cheese never lasts more than a week here so aging isn’t a problem.
        I made homemade deepfried mozzarella sticks tonight. I bet this kind would be more tasty. I want stringy, but cheese string/stick/whatchamacallit’s are not a very tasty sort of cheese.

  3. Looks delish! I do my grown-up grilled cheese with a similar idea – sliced tomato, oregano, sliced old cheddar.

    Hungry now

  4. That looks delicious! I definitely need some new lunch ideas because I’m tired of eating the same things over and over. Will have to try this!

    1. same here Janet. With school ending in a couple days, I am SO SICK of making the girls’ favorite sandwiches yet they still want them. I’m trying to mix it up a bit. Beat the blahs! lol

  5. We love grilled cheese sandwiches and this is the perfect spin on an original masterpiece!!

  6. This sound perfect to me. Its an easy fix and the ingredients will mesh nicely together. Will be doing this for the family very soon.
    Thanks for sharing.
