Are you kidding me? So Good! My supermarket did not have smoked mozz. so I used smoked gouda mixed with part skim mozz. Amazing! Will definitely do again using smoked mozz.
I paired this with Super Quick Minestrone Michael Chairello recipe. A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!!!!

This was fabulous! I added a thin breast of grilled chicken that I cooked before assembling the sandwich. I also added a LOT of basil. I cooked it on the George Foreman for a few minutes and it was great! I used crusty whole wheat rolls instead of bread, so I scooped out the inside, and I had to hold the grill down myself to make it panini-like, but it came out perfect.

My husband and I both love this. It's healthy and quick. I didn't see the show so I don't know what's going on with the heavy smashing thing. We flip and smoosh our like you would with the regular grilled cheese.
