This Italian marinated grilled cheese is made by briefly marinating 3 kinds of cheese with a quick oil and vinegar dressing, and including a few things you typically find in antipasto. It's a new and amazing twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch chili flakes
  • 0.25 teaspoons herbs
  • 2 ounces Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 ounces Cheddar cheese , grated
  • 1 slice provolone
  • 1 tablespoon roasted red peppers
  • 1 tablespoon pepperoncini peppers
  • 1 tablespoon green olives

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk garlic, vinegar, olive oil, black pepper, chili flakes, and herbs together in a bowl; stir in Monterey Jack, Cheddar, and provolone cheeses until combined.

  2. 2

    Stir in red peppers, pepperoncini, and olives. Wrap and let marinade in fridge for 15 minutes, or up to several hours.

  3. 3

    Pile the marinated cheese, beginning with the provolone, evenly onto 1 bread slice; cover with the other slice. Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Fry sandwich until both sides are crisp and well-browned, and cheese filling has melted, about 3 minutes per side.
