Italian Grilled Cheese
These sandwiches are a delicious, dressed-up version of the traditional favorite. The pocket of melted mozzarella or provolone cheese and a crisp crumb coating give these hot sandwiches a tasty twist.—Vera Ambroselli, Lehigh Acres, Florida

Reviews
This grilled cheese was a great variation to the average sandwich. It was obviously more work than the everyday grilled cheese but worth making. It was flavorful, gooey and still paired very well with tomato soup. The crust on the outside was crisp as well.
My children LOVED this recipe and requested that I only make these grilled cheese from now on. My eldest said it tasted like a mozzarella cheese stick sandwich.
Made with artisan asiago bread, more bagette style. LOVED it! With this thick of bread, the cheese didn't melt - only got warm. However, everyone said it was perfect that way. Also due to the thickness of the bread, used about 3 layers of cheese, mixing the mozzarella and provolone. Between the cheeses in the middle, the asiago cheese on the outside and the Italian seasonings - wow!
Made it with Aunt Millie's sandwich buns, did not cut a slit. Yum!
These are so good and go perfect with the soup
Bread was a soggy mess and cheese would not stay inside bread. Won't be making this again.
