Grilled cheese and pizza are my favorite foods, so why not make the ultimate food? Adjust the "pizza toppings" to your individual taste and be amazed! haha

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This grilled cheese is like a supreme pizza in a grilled sandwich - a fantastic idea! We loaded our sandwich with all the suggested toppings and fell in love. But tailor the sandwich with your favorite pizza toppings. Buttery grilled sourdough holds in the gooey cheese, hearty pepperoni, and salty prosciutto. Fresh basil adds a pop of flavor. We added a little sauce inside the grilled sandwich and served some on the side for dipping. If you don't have a panini press, these can be grilled in a skillet.

    Because it gets messy sometimes with the pizza sauce, you can heat it separately in the microwave while the sandwich cooks and just use it to dip the sandwich in.
