(Italian Grilled Cheese)

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Buying bottled red peppers makes short work of this eminently do-able weeknight sandwich. If you like things on the spicier side, use hot Genoa salami.

Ingredients:

8 slices Pumpernickel or Italian bread, 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick 8

8 slices Fontina or Mozzarella cheese(about 5 oz) 8

16 very thin slices mild Genoa salami (about 3 oz) 16

4 large slices roasted red pepper 4

1/3 cup Gay Lea Spreadables butter 75 mL

Instructions:

Place 4 slices of bread on work surface. Place 1 slice of cheese on top of each piece of bread. Top each with salami, dividing evenly, slice of red pepper and remaining cheese slices. Top with remaining bread slices. Spread half of butter over top of bread.

Place sandwiches, buttered side down, two at a time, in non-stick skillet, set over medium heat. Spread half of remaining butter over top of bread. Cook for about 5 minutes or until underside is golden and cheese has started to melt. Flip sandwiches over; cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer or until underside is golden and cheese is melted.

Repeat with remaining sandwiches and butter. Makes 4 sandwiches.
