Layers of mozzarella and provolone cheese, pepperoni, and a bit of marinara sauce and fresh basil are tucked into an artisan bread and grilled. Shown here with my fresh homemade tomato soup for a classic supper.
Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese
Now, I'm the first to admit I love a good grilled cheese, made on white bread slathered with butter, sandwiched around plain ole American cheese and browned in a skillet. Serve it with a bowl of good ole Campbell's tomato soup {and I like to drop a slice of American cheese into that soup as it's warming} and you got yourself a mighty fine meal there.
But every once in awhile I like a nice change too.
I ran across this sandwich in Cook's Country a pretty neat publication of America's Test Kitchen, especially if you like a wide variety of well-tested recipes.
I already had plans for that Homemade Fresh Tomato Soup I just posted and thought this sounded like a great sandwich to pair with that. With layers of mozzarella and provolone cheese, some pepperoni tucked in with a bit of fresh basil, it sure sounded pretty darned good to me!
This sandwich is definitely worthy of one of those artisan breads too - the kind with the crusty exterior and chewy crumb - and I happened across a boule on the clearance rack of day-old bread at the grocery store that was a great fit for this. Tucked into the bread were whole cloves of garlic - perfect!
Put this on your outdoor grill, or on an indoor grill and weigh it down with a heavy skillet or pan, or just use a countertop grill, like a George Foreman, like I did - enjoy!
