White Pizza Grilled Cheese

September 18, 2023 by Gina +

White pizza grilled cheese, do I really need to say more? It’s a combination of two of my favorite things, pizza and a great sandwhich.

Jump to Recipe

This sandwich is cheesy, cheesy perfection. Mozzarella, parmesan, and cottage cheese make up the base. I love cottage cheese because it adds protein and creaminess, but ricotta works too. I’m just very partial to cottage cheese. Then we season the cheese mix with Italian seasoning to give it that pizza flavor. Then to top it all off, grate a piece of garlic and mix it with butter to butter the bread. It gives it such a good flavor! Such a great twist on a classic grilled cheese
