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!
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!

This looks amazing, Tammi!
YUmmy! That looks delicious – and simple too!
Looks fantastic!
My husband made a sandwich similar to this. It was so good!!! I’m now hungry!
That looks so delicious. I never buy mozzarella like that. I usually buy the blocks. Is it so much better?
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.
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.
Too many tasty’s in the last comment. Yeah, weird.
