Grilled cheese pizza recipe
Last Updated on
This recipe for grilled cheese pizza is the perfect blend of two classic comfort foods. The gooey mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese create the perfect topping for a crispy, yet chewy crust. The best part about this dish is that it’s easy to customize. Add your favorite toppings, such as grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, or even caramelized onions. You can also use different types of cheese, depending on your preference. For a truly unique flavor, try a smoked cheese like gouda or Gruyere. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even add a dollop of pesto to the mix.
The key to making the perfect grilled cheese pizza is to use high-quality ingredients. Use a good quality olive oil for the crust and be generous with the cheese. If you can, use fresh mozzarella rather than the pre-shredded kind. When it comes to the cheddar, opt for a sharp variety for the best flavor.
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
3. Cut in 1/4 cup of cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Add 2-3 tablespoons of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle.
7. Transfer to a greased baking sheet.
8. Spread pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
9. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
This grilled cheese pizza is best enjoyed hot out of the oven, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in a 350 degree oven until warmed through
