Description

Margherita Pizza is a favorite of many people. Why not take those flavors and put them in a sandwich? After one bite, you will never go back to a plain grilled cheese again!

Ingredients

• 1 t. olive oil
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 14.5 oz. fire-roasted canned tomatoes
• ¼ t. salt
• 1 T. sugar
• 16 oz. fresh Mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 1 c. basil leaves
• 8 slices sourdough bread
• 3 -4 T. butter, melted

Steps

1. In a small saucepan, heat olive oil and garlic over a medium heat; saute until softened, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, salt and sugar. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes; set aside.
2. Heat a large cast iron skillet/griddle to a medium heat.
3. Spread 2 tablespoons tomato and oil sauce on each slice of bread. Top each with 4 oz. sliced cheese and then with 4-5 basil leaves. This will go on the inside of the sandwich.
