Pizza-fied Grilled Cheese


This will be my last post for a little while. I am going to a wedding in Sedona, AZ this weekend, and need a break from the technology world/research, its been a long 2 months without a break from work/training. Moving on...this is one of my favorite things to make. It's a twist on the grilled cheese, and I always like to eat this with a bowl of tomato soup. Who doesn't like their grilled cheese with two cheeses and turkey pepperoni?

Ingredients
Serving Size: (Entire Recipe) 1 Sandwich
Calories-185

2 slices light bread (around 45 to 50 calories each)
1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss Cheese
2 tablespoons canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
4 slices turkey pepperoni
1 slice fat-free American cheese
1 teaspoon light whipped butter or light buttery spread, room temperature

Lay bread slices flat and evenly spread the upward-facing sides with cheese wedge. Evenly top one cheese-covered slice with crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, pepperoni slices, and American cheese. Top with other slice of bread, cheese-covered side down.

Evenly spread the upward-facing bread slice with 1/2 teaspoon butter. Place in a skillet with buttered side down. Evenly spread remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter onto the upward-facing slice of bread.

Bring skillet to medium-high heat on the stove. Cook until bread is lightly browned and cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side, flipping carefully.

If you like, season some additional crushed tomatoes with Italian seasoning and serve as a dip. Enjoy!
