Fancy Pants Grilled Cheese

This is a fun spin on a standard grilled cheese sandwich.

Yield: 2 sandwiches

The Shopping List:

• 4 slices of your favorite whole wheat bread

• 3 tablespoons of olive oil

• 2 deli slices of provolone cheese

• 2 deli slices of fontina cheese

• 1/3 cup thinly sliced white onion*

• 1/3 cup store bought roasted red peppers (rinsed,drained,thinly sliced)*

*If you don’t like onions and peppers, you may leave them out, but try adding veggies you do like! I also like to add avocados, fresh spinach and tomatoes into my grilled cheese sandwiches!  You can even use some homemade pesto for extra yumminess. 

 

The prep:

• Heat a medium sized skillet on medium/low heat. Add one tablespoon of olive oil

• When hot, add your thinly sliced white onion

• Cook onions until they are slightly brown, then add roasted peppers.

• Cook until peppers are hot then remove from heat

• Lay 4 pieces of bread onto a cutting board

• Brush the top of each piece with olive oil

• In a large pan, apply medium heat

• When the pan is hot place your bread into the pan olive oil side down

• Add one slice of cheese to each piece of bread

• Add your onion and pepper mixture onto two of the pieces of bread

• Fold bread over to create a sandwich

• When golden brown and melted on each side, remove from pan

 

The fun part:

• Slice sandwiches in half and share with your best friend

• Enjoy immediately
