I am a member of the World Market Trendsetter Tribe! Thank you to World Market for sponsoring this Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe.
Hi friends! I have a SERIOUS yum to share with you today. I mean – serious. My obsession with cheese started as a child. My mother still likes to tell stories of how she’d grab the block of cheese from the refrigerator and there would be little bites out of it. Yah, that’s right! I was a late night cheese snacker. So naturally, I love grilled cheese – oh AND Italian food. All of it. So when I was thinking of what yummy recipe I could whip up in honor of World Market’s new Gourmet Getaway Sweepstakes, I thought I would grab some of their tasty Italian Food items from their extensive Gourmet Food & Drink section to make an Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich! And on my late night shopping trip (which was FAB by the way, did I mention, it was kids-free shopping?), here is what I snagged…
Daniele Italian Spicy Gourmet Salami Pack | Sacla Pasta Sauce
Mezzetta Roasted Red Bell Peppers | Mezzetta Italian Olive Antipasto
So once you have all those items you just need to pick up bread, butter and cheese from your local grocer and you are ready to get started! The recipe is simple…
Italian Grilled Cheese

OH MY GOODNESS! This looks SO delicious!! Awesome recipe Kimberly!
This looks amazing Kimberly!
I just may have to hit WM on my way home and gather up the ingredients to make this for dinner! Looks sooo good Kimberly I am seriously drooling on my keyboard!
Drooling! This looks delish! I’m excited to enter the contest too! Eating my way through Italy would be phenomenal. Thanks for the opportunity! xoox
There was a panini really similar to this at my college’s cafe that I ate far too often in college — I was thinking about how amazing it was the other day. I’ll definitely have to try this recipe to cure my craving!

This looks delicious! Pinned it to my sandwich board and will share it on my facebook page. I’m headed over to World Market to enter for the trip to Italy.
Mmm, this looks delicious, pinned it and cannot wait to make this for my family!! Thanks for the sharing 🙂
Absolutely Danielle! I hope they love it!
i just made this tonight for me and my husband. i only had a chunk of mozzarella so i cut it up as thin as i possibly could, but made thicker than your picture. it was still good though! he ate all of it, and the ciabatta bread was everything.
Oh that’s awesome Rebeka! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Yum! I am looking forward to making this for dinner.
KIM!! Made this tonight alongside this Cheese/Garlic bread https://www.pinterest.com/pin/493707177876135024/
I found you on Pinterest and I’m so glad I did! I didn’t use Sacla sauce, I used Prego, but I got the Mezzetta peppers. I substituted the meat for Bresaola, an italian cured beef, since I don’t eat pork in my diet.
I also used the pasta sauce ON the sandwich, and marinara for the dipping sauce.
Anyhoo, it was GREAT tonight! I turned on some romantic music and everything =) Thank you for sharing!
I have added it to my “Dinner rotation” Pinterest board. I make a side dish and a main dish once a week from that board. This is a dish I will be making quite often, a staple in our home! Thanks for the great dish, Kim!
Made these tonight! They were delicious! Definitely keeping this easy sandwich recipe
This is the BEST! I have now deiscovered bottled red peppers and pepperoncinis. This sandwicfh is beautiful but the flavor is out of this world on the crusty bread! I came across this recipe on Pinterest Thank Heaven! I will be making this often!
