Mozzapep Sandwich Recipe

Difficulty: Easy |
Makes:
1 Sandwich
Like most great ideas, this sandwich came to me while laying couch on an empty stomach. I wanted a grilled cheese but felt the need to change it up a bit. I knew using the leftover ingredients from the caprese salad I made the day before would work perfect. Instead of making it grilled cheese style I decided to get the cast iron skillet and cook it in the broiler. I also just called it “Mozzapep” because I didn’t know what else to call it…..any ideas???
