Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Made With

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Frigo® Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce, plus extra for dipping
  • 8 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 8 slices sourdough bread or Italian country bread
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 (16-ounce) Frigo® Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • Favorite pizza toppings, as desired

Directions

Mix the Frigo® Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese and marinara sauce in a small saucepot, heating gently on low until you’re ready to assemble the sandwiches and serve them.

Butter both sides of each bread slice and lightly sprinkle them with the garlic powder. Then, place the slices in a large skillet or on a griddle set to medium-low heat (cook in batches, if necessary). Cook the slices for 3–4 minutes or until the bread is browned on one side.

Flip half of the slices of bread and spread each of them with 1–2 tablespoons of the Frigo® Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese sauce, slices of the Frigo® Fresh Mozzarella Cheese and a tablespoon of mini pepperoni slices. Add additional pizza toppings, if you desire. Then, top them with the remaining slices of bread toasted-side down.

 Flip the sandwiches and continue to cook them on medium-low heat until the bottom slices of bread are toasted. Then, flip and cook the sandwiches until the cheese is melted.

If you’re cooking in small batches, hold the finished sandwiches on a sheet tray in an oven set at 300°F.

When serving, cut the sandwiches in half and enjoy them with marinara sauce for dipping.
