sandwich essentials: grilled cheese - pizza style
This is a fun, easy/peasy sandwich to make with items you probably have in your kitchen. Choose your cheeses, meat, pizza sauce; even the bread, and go for it. Yesterday, I made a bunch of these, put them on a warming tray on a sideboard in the main dining room and announced they were there. Went in there about a hour later and they were gone. Yummy. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make sandwich essentials: grilled cheese - pizza style
-
1PREP/PREPARE
-
2You will need a small skillet to make this recipe.
-
3Homemade 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

4What 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.
-
5Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
-
6Brush 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.
-
7Add 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.
-
8Set 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.
