Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese Recipe

While I may spend my days (& nights) baking, cooking doesn't come as easily to me. I have yet to master working with different spices & seasonings, yet there are two dishes I can without a doubt always make perfectly: grilled cheese & pizza bagels.

Granted, a majority of the time I find myself making frozen Bagel Bites, but homemade pizza bagels are something I've loved to make & eat since I was a little girl.

So I figured, why not combine the two dishes I’ve managed to figure out how to cook into one delicious creation: The Pizza Grilled Cheese.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp ricotta cheese, fresh

6 slices of pepperoni, sliced thin
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

basil, to taste

2 slices focaccia

red pepper flakes, to taste

a handful of spinach

2 tbsp tomato sauce

olive oil

Supplies:

Step 1:

Cut bread into generous slices. Wash spinach & basil.

Step 2:

Place spinach & basil on one side of bread. On the other half, pour on the tomato sauce. 

Step 3:

Sprinkle red pepper flakes onto the sauce half. Top with mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, & pepperoni.

Step 4:

Pour olive oil onto skillet over medium heat. Fold sandwich in half & place down onto skillet with spatula for 2-3 minutes & then flip for additional minute or two. Enjoy!
