Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

I made half the recipe. I used pre- sliced Italian bread purchased 3 days earlier. I made 2 exactly as written (proportionally) for my mom and I- delicious. I made 2 for my 5 and almost 3 year old grand kids, but used cheddar and deli ham. They loved dipping in the vodka pasta sauce! Thanks!

These sandwiches are good but I really thought they would be better.

Amazing! Made this with my mom i tore off a little piece thinking i wouldn’t like it but DAAAAAANG was i wrong! I ate the whole thing in the span of 5-10 min! Thanks for making this very tasty recipe!

Family loved it!

Tastes like a garlic bread grilled cheese. Entire family devoured it!

Wow! Great idea! I used what I had so changed it a little but it is such a flexible, no-fail method. I mixed a little seasoning (bread dipping spice mix) with soft butter, spread that on the outside of the bread and used whatever cheese was preferred and grilled it on the stove. Served it with homemade tomato basil soup. Will definitely do again

Cooked them on the grill, they were great!

This is AMAZING! I made this when I wanted grilled cheese but had run out of cheddar cheese and really wanted something garlic-y. I melted butter in a pan and used fresh chopped garlic, then put the bread down in the butter. I put mozzarella, feta, and asiago cheese on the face, let it melt, then added the top piece, flipped it, and tada! Topped it with oregano and I’m craving a second and third sandwich.

We used sourdough white bread, colby jack cheese and also mixed minced garlic with the butter/powered garlic mixture. Let’s just say, it came out AMAZING! Both me and my honey wished I made more!! Definitely making these again. They came out perfect. 100% better then the cheesy garlic bread you get in stores. Paired it with soup, tasted amazing. Thank you so much for the recipe!!

Yummy easy dinner ! Per another reviewer I used mozzarella and provolone . I decided to use a hearty sourdough bread and spiced up the vodka marinara w a couple dashes of cayenne . Yum ! Thank you for sharing !

I added Basil and it was great! Needs some salt though. Definitly am going to HAVE to try it again in the near future. WOW!

it sounds and looks amazing

It was alright, don’t know if I enjoyed the oregano combination with the grilled cheese. It wasn’t terrible but wasn’t the best either

My entire kitchen smelled amazin

I made this for lunch today and had it with tomato soup. I loved the Italian twist this recipe puts on the grilled cheese sandwich. The combination of the melted cheese with the marinara sauce and the crispy fried bread were finger lickin’ good! The weather here has been awful for many days in a row (lots and lots of snow and cold temperatures) and it was nice to sit down and have some comfort food. Everyone loves a good grilled cheese and it was nice to have it done a little differently for a change. This was a great idea to makeover a classic!

I made this sandwich a few times, and using the following ingredients per each serving… 10 thinly slices of pepperoni on one slice of bread, followed by a nice helping of shredded mozzarella on top the pepperoni, and a light sprinkle of garlic powder and dried oregano leaves over the cheese. I buttered the outside of bread slices with Shedd’s Spread Country Crock (Churn Style), and browned them in a skillet on top the stove (rather than under the broiler). I also heated the pasta sauce before making the sandwiches, then set the pasta sauce (covered) aside while making the sandwiches. After the sandwiches were done browning, I let them sit for 3 minutes before cutting them in half, and dipping them in the pasta sauce. This was a nice alternative to the grilled cheese sandwiches which are usually made with slices of processed cheese.

These were a nice change from traditional grilled cheese. I made 2 and did them on the stove in my fry pan. Worked well. I didn’t even bother mixing the margarine with the garlic in a dish, I just sprinkled the garlic over top of the margarine on the bread and used my knife to mix it slightly. Don’t do this unless you really like garlic. Sprinkled Oregano over that and fried them up. Really good.

These are fabulous with tomato soup!

I only had a bite of a sandwich but my kidlets really liked them. I did make as is with the jar of vodka sauce, which I don’t advise to do so. Next time, I would make these after making homemade vodka sauce.

Thanks for the great recipe. I did not have mozzarella. I used swiss because that’s what I had, I also added tomatoe. I put garlic powder on the tomatoe, then oregano on the bread. It was tasty and still had the Italian flair.

These were a nice change of pace from our regular grilled cheese. However, be sure to either cook each side for only 1 minute or put your pan on the bottom rack instead of right next to the broiler element. Next time, I’ll put a basil leaf on top of the cheese. I served it with the gorgonzola tomato soup from this site, and they were great together.
