An elevated grilled cheese sandwich featuring layers of gooey cheese, savory deli meats, and roasted red peppers, all on crispy sourdough bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of sourdough bread
  • 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 pound of thinly sliced deli meats (such as salami, capicola, or turkey)
  • 1/2 cup of roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Slice the sourdough bread into thick slices if not pre-sliced, and thinly slice the roasted red peppers.
  2. Mix the cheeses: In a bowl, combine the mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan cheeses, mixing well. Set aside.
  3. Spread the mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the mayonnaise for extra flavor.
  4. Layer the cheese: On the unspread side of two slices of bread, layer half of the cheese mixture evenly.
  5. Add meats and peppers: Add a layer of your preferred deli meats over the cheese, followed by a layer of sliced roasted red peppers.
  6. Top it off with cheese: Top with the remaining cheese mixture and place the other two slices of bread on top, mayonnaise side up.
  7. Preheat the skillet: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet.
  8. Cook ‘til golden: Cook the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip the sandwiches with a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and both sides are golden brown.
  10. Rest before slicing: Once done, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing in half.
  11. Serve hot: Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces, such as marinara or basil pesto.

Notes

Use high-quality deli meats for the best flavor. Experiment with different cheeses for a unique twist.
