Let me tell you something about The Bug (as if I don’t do that already) – the kid is a talker. Always has been. And the vocabulary on this kid, it’s kind of insane. The words that pop out of his little not-quite-five year old mouth are well beyond his years. And from the second he wakes up in the morning, the mouth starts, and doesn’t stop until I am literally walking out of his room at night saying, β€œGood night, it’s time to quiet down, you can tell me more tomorrow…” The only think that moves faster than his mouth is his brain because I seriously don’t think he can speak fast enough to let out all of the thoughts he is formulating.

Do you have any idea how nervous this makes me? I’m pretty much doomed because the kid is slick, and he is going to be able to talk his way out of anything when he gets older. Or he is just going to talk so much that people are just going to throw their hands up in the air and be like, β€œFine, do what you want, just STOP!”

Little Dude, on the other hand, was pretty quiet for a long time. Honestly, I’m thinking it’s because big brother never let him get a word in edgewise. I have no doubt that the gears were turning inside his head because I swear it was overnight that he started babbling and then those babbles became full on sentences. β€œMommy, brother threw the truck.” β€œMommy, can I have my water, peeeeeze?” β€œMommy, I want more froooooot, please. Kank you.” Still not 100% intelligible, but I know what he is saying most of the time.

And I think every kid has some words they say wrong or misuse, but it’s just so darn cute that you almost don’t want to correct them. Little Dude thinks everything is pizza. And not just pizza, it’s β€œpete-zzzaaaaaaaa!!!!” with the hugest grin on his face. I swear I need to get him on video for you. Freaking adorable!

It’s helpful, too, because he loooovvveess pizza. So hey, if he thinks something is pizza, and that means he will eat it even if he might not otherwise, who am I to correct him? So quiches and frittatas are pizza and casseroles are pizza and sandwiches are pizza. Oh wait, this sandwich actually is pizza…

This grilled cheese sammie is inspired by The Bug. He also loves pizza, but especially white cheese pizza, and we haven’t found a really awesome white cheese pizza here in Maryland yet. So since I don’t always want to make pizza crust, I thought I’d combine his favorite pizza and his favorite sandwich to make Three Cheese White Cheese Pizza Grilled Cheese. He’s not a tomato sauce kid, but if you are, you can always heat up some marinara sauce on the side for dunking, kind of an Italian-American take on the classic grilled cheese and tomato soup combo.

This sandwich couldn’t be simpler or more amazing. I mean, you’ve got three, count β€˜em, three cheeses here. Of course you have the classic stretchy mozzarella, then some ricotta which really makes it oozy and good, with just a little Italian seasoning to give it that pizza-like flair. Then to take it over the top, I crusted it in parmesan cheese to make it toasty and golden brown.

Combine the cheesy goodness of white pizza and the classic comfort food sandwich for one delicious grilled cheese sandwich.
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 8 minutes
Total: 13 minutes

Ingredients

For each sandwich (just multiply by how many sandwiches you are making):

  • 1/2 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 oz. fresh mozzarella cut into slices
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread or your favorite sandwich bread
  • 2 tsp olive oil for the pan. divided if you are cooking the sandwiches in batches and not all at once in one large pan.

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the butter and parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  • Spread the outside of each slice of bread with the butter and cheese mixture.
  • Spread the ricotta on the plain side of one slice of bread. Sprinkle with the Italian seasoning and top with mozzarella slices.
  • Top with another slice of buttered bread.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat.
  • Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Covering the pan with a lid during cooking will help melt the cheese.

    This looks great! Definitely will try it. You mentioned that you haven’t yet found a good white pizza in Maryland…. have you tried Grotto’s Pizza? The Bianco that they serve is in my opinion, SUPER delicious! A favorite of my family’s! πŸ™‚

    Awww…I always wonder how little kids get so much energy. My nephew is a talker too and he talks all the way from SF to San Diego, about 9 hours drive. Even when we allowed him to play his video games. I hope this grilled cheese can calm him down so everyone can enjoy the silence for a while πŸ™‚
