Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe


I saw this on Pinterest:



PIZZA GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

YIELD: 3

INGREDIENTS:

  • 6 slices of bread (you can even use French bread)
  • 3 tbsp butter spread
  • 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese ( you can also use slices of mozzarella)
  • 21 slices of pepperoni 
  • 3/4 cup marinara sauce

DIRECTIONS:


1. Spread about 1/2 tbsp butter on one side of each slice of bread.
2. Spread 1/4 cup of cheese on three slices of bread, on top of un-buttered side. Spread 7 slices of pepperoni on top of cheese for each of the three slices . Spread 1/4 cup of marinara sauce on top of pepperoni for each of the three slices. Spread another 1/4 cup of cheese on top of the sauce. Place remaining slices of bread on top, to form sandwiches (with butter side facing up).
3. Place frying pan on stove and turn to medium heat. Once hot, carefully place one sandwich in the frying pan, cooking the bottom  buttered side until golden and toasty and the cheese is melty. Then carefully flip over and cook until other side is also toasty and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. If cheese does not melt to your desired consistency, you can briefly microwave sandwich for about 10-15 seconds before eating.

Comfort

Blessed be God, even the Father of our
 Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies,
 and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth
 us in all our tribulation, that we may be 
able to comfort them which are in any trouble,
 by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are
 comforted of God.

Mini Cheesecakes (grain-free, gluten-free)
  • Prep Time: 
  • Cook Time: 
  • Ready in: 
  • Yield: 12

Ingredients

    For the crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups (125 grams) blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar or raw sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons (42 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • For the filling:

  • 1 pound (450 grams) cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar or raw sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • For decoration:

  • berries and powdered sugar, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
  2. Prepare the crust. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all the dry ingredients, then stir in the butter and mix until thoroughly combined.
  3. Divide the mixture between the liners (18 grams or 3 1/2 teaspoons of mixture per liner) and lightly press down with the bottom of a shot glass.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes or until very lightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 10 minutes while preparing the filling.
  5. Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the beater attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar at medium speed until light and creamy. Add the vanilla and salt and beat until combined. Beat in the eggs on low, one at a time, and just until well incorporated. Do not over mix!
  6. Fill each liner about 2/3 full with the batter and bake for 10 minutes or until the centers of the cheesecakes don't jiggle when the pan is tapped. Open the oven door (at least 1 foot wide) and let the cheesecakes cool to room temperature - about 1 1/2 hours. For easiest removal, remove the paper liners now. They can also be removed after chilling, though a little more cheesecake may stick to the liners then.
  7. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Decorate with berries and dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
