An Italian Style Grilled Cheese Sandwich!

I love hot lunches! I'll heat up leftovers before I'll eat a cold lunch! But when there aren't any leftovers I'll make myself this tasty hot sandwich! I love this because it's quick and delicious! And it's kind of healthy too! Well, except for the butter and cheese...but it does have some veggies in there!
This grilled cheese sandwich reminds me of one of my favorite appetizers...antipasto! So that's what I named my recipe! I hope you like it as much as I do!

DIRECTIONS;
Blot dry the roasted sweet red pepper.

Melt butter in a non stick skillet over med/low heat.
Dip one side of each slice of bread in the melted butter and set aside.

    1. Yes, you are so right! I even saw a Food Network show about a restaurant that just served all different kinds of grilled cheese sandwiches! The entire menu was just grilled cheese sandwiches! And the place was VERY busy!
