Ingredients

2 slices Italian bread
1 tablespoon softened butter, divided
1 tablespoon prepared pesto sauce, divided
1 slice provolone cheese

Spread one side of a slice of bread with butter, and place it, buttered side down, into a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Spread the top of the bread slice in the skillet with half the pesto sauce, and place a slice of provolone cheese, the tomato slices, and the slice of American cheese onto the pesto.

Spread remaining pesto sauce on one side of the second slice of bread, and place the bread slice, pesto side down, onto the sandwich. Butter the top side of the sandwich.

Gently fry the sandwich, flipping once, until both sides of the bread are golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.

A delicious recipe that substitutes a portobello mushroom for a pizza crust. Try using pesto sauce instead of spaghetti sauce, and experiment with your favorite pizza toppings.

Ingredients

1 large portobello mushroom, stem removed
1 tablespoon spaghetti sauce ( or Pesto sauce )
½ cup mozzarella cheese
½ tablespoon sliced black olives
4 slices pepperoni sausage
1 clove garlic, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Place the mushroom on a baking sheet, and bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven, and spread spaghetti sauce in the cup of the cap. Top with cheese, olives, pepperoni and garlic.

Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden.

Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients:

4 Slices of Bread - White or Whole Grain
2 Pats of Butter
6 slices of Ham ( Boars Head Tavern ham is my favorite )
2 slices Monterey Jack or White American Deli Cheese (or Swiss if you prefer)
Mustard 1 tsp.
Mayonnaise 1 tsp.

Roasted red peppers or tomato slices (optional )

Directions:
Butter one slice of bread (using 1 pat of butter) and place it, butter side down, in a hot skillet.

Add ham slices to your liking ( I like thin sliced, but not shaved. Add 1 or 2 slices of cheese according to your preference to this slice of bread (also roasted peppers OR tomatoes if desired).

Spread mayonnaise and mustard to one side of the 2nd slice of bread. On the other side of the bread spread the remaining pat of butter.
Close up the sandwich, butter side up. Grill the sandwich until golden brown on the bottom. Then, carefully flip the sandwich to cook the other side until the cheese is melted and both sides are golden.
