Smoked Gouda and Sopressata Grilled Cheese
Ready In: 15 mins
Serves: 2
Yields: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 6 -8 ounces focaccia bread
- 1⁄4-1⁄3 lb smoked gouda cheese, grated
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 8 -10 fresh sage leaves
- 10 slices spicy sopressata (thin slices) or 10 slices spicy salami (thin slices)
Directions
- Cut focaccia in two to make two sandwiches. Cut each piece in half horizontally, and if the focaccia is thick, scrape out some of the interior crumb.
- In a large heavy (cast-iron preferred) skillet, heat olive oil until it shimmers. Add sage leaves and fry, turning occasionally, until they darken and crisp. Remove to paper towel to drain.
- Turn heat down to low. Place bottom halves of focaccia in skillet. Cover each piece with 1/4 of the cheese, then half the sopressata. Add sage leaves, then the remaining cheese (so each sandwich gets half the cheese). Add focaccia tops, cover and cook 5 minutes. Turn over carefully and cook until crisp and cheese is melted, about another 5 minutes.
