Tips for Next-Level Pizza Grilled Cheese
-
Use fresh mozzarella for extra gooeyness
-
Sprinkle Parmesan on the outside of the bread before grilling for extra crispiness
-
Add a little garlic powder or red pepper flakes for a flavor kick
-
For a bigger “pizza flavor,” layer in a few sun-dried tomatoes or fresh basil
If you want, I can also make a fancier version with four-cheese blend, caramelized onions, and pizza toppings inside, perfect for a lunch that feels gourmet but is super easy to make 😋
