Grilled cheese is just about one of the best comfort foods on the planet, especially when paired with tomato soup. You’ll see various version of grilled cheese on restaurant menus, and we sure love a good grilled cheese around my house too. This Italian grilled cheese sandwich is a little twist on my adult grilled cheese sandwich recipe. It’s a great sandwich to make for lunch!

Ingredients needed:

sliced Italian bread butter cream cheese prosciutto red or yellow tomatoes (or both!) fresh basil provolone cheese

Some may argue that it isn’t a grilled cheese sandwich anymore if you add all these additional ingredients to it. I beg to differ! It’s absolutely a grilled cheese. It’s just jazzed up with more flavor, and made to be so much more delicious! Change things up by using different cheeses. Use sun dried tomato spread instead of fresh tomatoes. Brush some white wine on the inside of the bread instead of cream cheese. Make your Italian grilled cheese the way that you would like it best. It’s easy to adjust the recipe to your liking. Enjoy!
