How to Make Antipasto Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Slice the roasted red pepper and halve and flatten the marinated artichoke hearts. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the bread: Soften the butter. Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  4. Layer the fillings: Top with mozzarella cheese, salami slices, roasted red pepper, and artichoke hearts.
  5. Close and cook: Place the other slice of bread on top, buttered side up. Grill for 2-3 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and browning.
  6. Flip and finish: Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula. Grill for another 2-3 minutes, pressing down gently, until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  7. Serve: Remove from heat, let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve warm. Enjoy your gourmet Antipasto Grilled Cheese!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
