Cooking 101 #17/52 (Not just a) Grilled Cheese Sandwich


Not Just a Grilled Cheese Sandwich

April is grilled cheese month (seriously, google it!) so I decided to celebrate.  Yes grilled cheese may be a steep above boiling water but I decided to make  it something a bit out of the ordinary.  Both Michelle and I love white pizza, so I set out to reproduce the flavors in a sandwich.  I figured I would need some ricotta and mozzarella cheeses to do this as well as some garlic butter.  I also decided to add provolone cheese and smoked turkey breast and to make the sandwich on pumpernickel bread for some added flavor.  The result was delicious and highly recommended.  The only change I would make for the next batch would be to tone down the salt in the garlic butter recipe I used, that was a bit overpowering.

Recipe:
Two slices of pumpernickel bread, apply garlic butter to the outside of each.
Add ricotta cheese to the other side of one slice.
Place one slice of mozzarella, one slice of provolone, and one slice of turkey between the slices of bread.
Cook on medium-low heat until cheese melts and/or bread starts to brown.

Feel free to add bacon, tomato, avocado, or other items as your taste desires!
