Roasted Red Pepper Grilled Cheese is filled with basil pesto fresh mozzarella, and roasted red peppers. It is the perfect summer sandwich!Ahhhh, nothing says summer like grilling, right?!?! I love love love grilling out, but being vegetarians it makes things a little difficult sometimes. Truth be told, I will take a hamburger bun and just stuff it with the burger toppings (sans burger) when we co to a cookout, because it’s honestly SO delicious! I have been playing with grilling actual sandwiches lately, and I am super excited to share with you my newest sandwich, this Roasted Red Pepper Grilled Cheese.

You know, I absolutely love Caprese sandwiches, but since I’ve already made a caprese grilled cheese, I wanted to do a play on that, but use Roasted Red Bell Peppers. The flavor from the peppers gives a real punch to the sandwich, and adding pesto plus fresh basil leaves is just an amazing burst of fresh flavor. I love this Roasted Red Pepper Gilled Cheese sandwich.

I don’t think I mentioned, you actually put these bad boys on a real grill. Have you ever grilled a sandwich on an actual grill?!?! It’s so delicious and easy! It gives the bread such a delicious crunch and melts the cheese perfectly.  I love using the fresh mozzarella in this recipe too, but say you have everything on hand except the fresh mozzarella, then just use whatever sliced cheese you have – anything works!

Roasted Red Pepper Grilled Cheese

Roasted Red Pepper Grilled Cheese is filled with basil pesto fresh mozzarella, and roasted red peppers. It is the perfect summer sandwich!

Ingredients
  • 2 ciabatta rolls
  • 1/3 cup Mezzetta Roasted Red Bell Peppers
  • 4-6 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 2 TBS prepared basil pesto
  • 1 TBS mayonnaise
  • 6-8 fresh basil leaves
  • olive oil for brushing on rolls
  • ground black pepper
  • pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. Heat grill to medium heat.

  2. To assemble sandwiches: open each roll, spread some basil pesto and mayo on each side of the bun (insides), add a cheese slice, half the roasted red peppers, half the basil leaves, another cheese slice (or 2), sprinkle salt and pepper, and close the top basil/mayo side down. Repeat for second sandwich.

  3. Brush olive oil on the outsides of the rolls. Place sandwich onto the grill, and close the lid. Cook for 2-4 minutes with the heat on medium - you don't want the sandwich to burn. Flip sandwich over, and cook another 2 minutes or so. Remove from grill.

  4. Allow to cool a few minutes, then slice in half and enjoy!

    I love paninis, but have never made them on the grill. I will have to try this; I love the flavors you used!

    This recipe is identical to one served for years by a restaurant in Downtown Seattle off First Ave.. I used to buy this same grilled sandwich there in 1989-2000. The key is the ciabatta. It’s a winner.
