- Place bread down onto a clean surface and spread 1 tbsp each marinara sauce onto base of bread. Divide and sprinkle half the cheese over top. Lay 4 slices bacon onto each slice of bread and sprinkle remaining cheese over top followed by basil. Top with remaining bread.
- Divide garlic butter and spread onto the outside of the bread of each sandwich.
- Spray a large non stick skillet with cooking oil over medium high heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side flipping carefully with a spatula. Bread should be golden brown and cheese should be melted.
- Remove from heat and slice in half. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping on the side. Serve immediately.
Serve sandwiches with a small side garden salad. Like meat as much as we do? Make it a Meatsa pizza grilled cheese and add Maple Leaf Prepped and Ready diced ham. Chef Hack – leave cheese at room temperature for 15 minutes – it will melt faster and easier in the sandwich.
