Smoked Gouda and Sopressata Grilled Cheese
"Adapted from a recipe posted at Pithy and Cleaver."
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
2 sandwiches
- Serves:
- 2
ingredients
- 6 -8 ounces focaccia bread
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄3 lb smoked gouda cheese, grated
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 8 -10 fresh sage leaves
- 10 slices spicy sopressata (thin slices) or 10 slices spicy salami (thin slices)
directions
- Cut focaccia in two to make two sandwiches. Cut each piece in half horizontally, and if the focaccia is thick, scrape out some of the interior crumb.
- In a large heavy (cast-iron preferred) skillet, heat olive oil until it shimmers. Add sage leaves and fry, turning occasionally, until they darken and crisp. Remove to paper towel to drain.
- Turn heat down to low. Place bottom halves of focaccia in skillet. Cover each piece with 1/4 of the cheese, then half the sopressata. Add sage leaves, then the remaining cheese (so each sandwich gets half the cheese). Add focaccia tops, cover and cook 5 minutes. Turn over carefully and cook until crisp and cheese is melted, about another 5 minutes.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
