A Fat Kid's Dream

I would like to take credit for inventing the Grilled Pizza Sandwich but I'm sure I'm not the first person on Earth to make one.  But I made one and it was so friggin good and then I made one for Joe and took pictures of it.  For the hell of it.  Because Saturday was a really f-ing boring day for me and the highlight of my day was inventing a sammie out of the contents of the refrigerator.  I needed a break from baking, cooking, cleaning, laundry, shaving the dog, and my never-ending battle with the box elder bugs and Asian lady beetles that invade the house every chance they get.

So grab 2 pieces of your favorite bread (this is not my favorite bread, it's Joe's nasty white bread) and slap some butter on one side of each piece!  I also sprinkled some Old Bay seasoning on the buttered side because I'm obsessed with that shit and I put it on everything.

Then spray a pan with PAM or whatever you use and throw your favorite pizza toppings in it and saute.  In this pan is pepperoni, onions and garlic.  The grease from the peps will be sufficient to saute your onions and garlic.  Saute for about, oh 7 minutes or so.

Remove your toppings and put them somewhere. Perhaps in a bowl.  Place one of your bread pieces butter side down in the same pan and quickly cover it with pizza sauce, your sauteed toppings, some shredded mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, more cheese, until it looks something like this:

MMMMMMM!!!  The put the other piece of bread on top, butter side up (duh...do I really need to explain that) and proceed to flip it when the other side is browned to your personal preference.  You know, like a grilled cheese sandwich or some shit.  *sigh* I'm just not cut out for dieting.

This is NOT the same sammie I as cooking above; this is my sammie that I made for myself earlier with a Brownberry Whole Wheat Sandwich Round. I didn't get to take a picture of Joe's white-bread sammie because he was bellering at me from the couch, "Is my sandwich ready yet?!" so I took it out of the pan and gave it to him before he chewed his arms off.  But you get the point, it's pretty similar.  And pretty fucking delicious.  Oh look, there's Nellie standing under the hovering plate hoping for a bite.  No such luck homegirl.  

Look at this creep with his crazy hair and wonky eyes!
