We all think we know how to make a grilled cheese, right? On the stove top in a whole lot of butter. Or, occasionally, deep fried in a whole lot of oil. But what about trying grilled cheese in a whole new way? There’s still bread and cheese involved, so you know it can’t go wrong. This technique involves baking your grilled cheese sandwiches so they’re actually a little better for you. But don’t worry, there is no lack of flavor here. Watch the video below with baking master Giada to see how it’s done.
And these grilled cheeses aren’t just filled with flavor, they’re filled with an extra special flavor – pizza flavor! Baked pizza grilled cheeses may be even better than having actual pizza. At least, it’s a whole lot easier than making a homemade pizza and a whole lot cheaper than buying a pie, too.
A perfect treat for the kids or a delicious lunch for grilled cheese and pizza lovers everywhere (so everyone, hopefully), these flavorful baked sandwiches are so easy to whip up!
