Three Italian deli meats, three Italian cheeses, boy was I looking forward to this! The spicy meat, balanced by tons of cheese oozing everywhere, the bite of red onion, tang of red wine vinaigrette, and notes of tomato throughout, all I’ve gotta say it Buon appetito! I felt like an Italian eating this one!
This also starts a mini series of geographically inspired grilled cheese! We have already had some grilled cheeses inspired by traditional regional cuisine (spanakopita, poutine, etc.) but now you can look forward toward The Mexican, The Montreal, The German, The Greek, & The Cuban! It’s gonna be a tasty week!
