Printer-friendly version
8 slices Italian bread
5 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
8 (3/4-ounce) slices Land O Lakes® Deli American
12 to 16 basil leaves, if desired
4 ounces sliced deli salami
1/2 cup roasted red pepper strips
1/3 cup mild banana pepper rings

Directions

Spread 1 side of each bread slice with about 2 teaspoons butter.

Layer 1 slice bread, buttered-side down, with 1 slice cheese, 3 to 4 basil leaves, 1/4 salami, 1/4 roasted red pepper strips, 1/4 banana pepper rings and 1 slice cheese. Top with 1 slice bread, buttered-side up.

Heat 12-inch skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place 2 sandwiches into skillet; cook, turning once, 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

 

** Tip from Chella to make a bunch of these tasty treats here is a tip I found on Pinterest.  Sorry no link for that one.

Prepare your grilled cheese sandwiches as usual (buttered on both sides) Put sandwiches between two baking sheets. Bake 350° for 15-20 minutes.
