Ingredients

  • About 3oz (85g) of "shell" cheese
    shredded
    1 unit
  • About 1oz (28g) of "filler" cheese
    optionally a different kind of cheese, shredded
    1 unit
  • Toppings:
    1 unit
  • Chopped cold cuts
    1 unit
  • Sandwich toppings - banana peppers
    chili peppers, marinated mushrooms, etc
    1 unit
  • Marinara sauce
    1 unit

Method

1
In a medium-large non-stick (or cast-iron if you know how to use one) pan, sprinkle the "shell" cheese evenly. It will melt and bubble, and eventually form a layer of cheese.
2
Once the underside is orange or brown colored, flip it over.
3
Sprinkle the filler cheese down the middle, and put whatever toppings you want down the middle. It's advisable to get the toppings ready in advance - it's a time-critical procedure once it's flipped.
4
Fold the shell over, and let it cook long enough to melt the filler cheese if desired. Serve and eat right away - do dishes later.
