PREVIOUS: Fried Grouper Sandwich NEXT: Reuben Sandwich

Ingredients (11)

  • 2 thin slices of tomato
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 2 slices of rye bread
  • 1 clove of garlic (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon of oregano
  • 3 slices of fresh mozzarella (thinly sliced)
  • 4 large slices of pepperoni
  • 6 basil leaves (torn)
  • 8 black olives (sliced)
  • cooking spray
  • salt

Like most great ideas, this sandwich came to me while laying couch on an empty stomach. I wanted a grilled cheese but felt the need to change it up a bit. I knew using the leftover ingredients from the caprese salad I made the day before would work perfect. Instead of making it grilled cheese style I decided to get the cast iron skillet and cook it in the broiler. I also just called it “Mozzapep” because I didn’t know what else to call it…..any ideas???

Happy Eating
