Time 12m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, strips
0.5 (14 ounce) jar pimento stuffed olives, Sliced
3 -4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 slices french style fresh baked bread (thinly sliced)
2 1/2-3 1/3 cups shredded fontina (or cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese)
4 fresh garlic cloves, chopped (more or less to taste)
4 tablespoons chopped cilantro (or green onion or parsley)

Steps:

Mix the sliced olives and sliced roasted red peppers in a bowl with garlic and cilantro or green onion. Sprinkle 4 slices of bread with half of the cheese and then top with the pepper-olive mixture. Apply the remaining cheese as another layer. Top with a second piece of bread and press together.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and gently brown the sandwiches, turning once or twice as the cheese melts and holds the bread together. Some of the cheese will ooze out and crisp in the skillet, which is delicious, even if it burns slightly.
Serve hot, on a paper napkin lined plate to absorb the excess cooking fat. Enjoy!
