Description

Youre just one sheet pan, one piece of focaccia, and a whole lotta cheese away from this slab grilled cheese. We used cheddar because we like its melt, but you can use other comparable cheeses. You can also make Salties Focaccia for this, or go store-bought in a pinch. One of the best things about this party showstopper is that you dont even need butter or oil to get it going—the focaccia provides the good stuff.

Ingredients

1 large piece of focaccia, one that will fit snugly on an 18x13-inch baking sheet
1 1/2 pounds Cheddar, or comparable, cheese
Crumbled bacon, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, or anything youd put in a regular grilled cheese

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Slice the focaccia so that you have two equal slabs.
Sprinkle your preferred grated cheese for as little or as much coverage as youd like between the slices of focaccia.
Weigh the whole thing down with a heavy-bottomed pan—thats right, put a pan right on top of the focaccia—and bake at 375°F for about 8 minutes.
Slice into 9 large sandwiches, or as small as youd like to serve at a party.

Serves: Makes one 18 x 13-inch grilled cheese, enough for 8 to 10 sandwiches (or more, depending on size)
