I know what you’re thinking, “What in the world is Italian grilled cheese?” Well, about 13 years ago I was freshman at ISU and went to lunch at the dorm. Someone in front of me ordered an “Italian Grilled Cheese” at the sandwich bar and then I watched the chef make a delicious grilled sandwich. In that sandwich was Italian shredded cheese, tomatoes, and fresh basil. If that sounds good to you then you need to keep reading!

I’m sorry I have been gatekeeping this recipe for so long! I should have posted it long ago, but I didn’t think anyone would be interested. But I was pleasantly surprised when on a poll on my Instagram so many people wanted the recipe over baked parmesan chicken. If you want a chance to pick my next recipe post, then please follow me on Instagram and watch out for the next poll. Here’s the link for my page: https://www.instagram.com/tomorrowisamotherdayblog/
