It’s a festive day around these parts because we’re celebrating the bloggy birthdays of two amazing gals – Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Liz of That Skinny Chick Can Bake.
If we lived closer, you know I’d host one heck of a soiree, complete with a signature cocktail or two, some divine treats and a toast to two ladies who inspire me not only to be a better blogger but also a better person. Their wit, humor, kindness and kickin’ recipes make them a must read daily and I know, through thick or thin, (or even a chocolate shortage), these gals will be there!
So – in thinking of all the laughter, the advice, and the giggles galore, I thought I’d bring a bit of comfort to the soiree with one of my faves – Parmesan Crusted Grilled Cheese Sticks that are gooey, cheesy and have a bit of spice with a hint of Aleppo pepper. I whipped up some easy homemade marinara sauce to go with but you can use your fave sauce. I guarantee there will be none left on the plate – your guests will have a bit of nostalgia as they dunk these gooey cheesy strips into the rich tomato sauce.
On to the recipe:
Gather the ingredients
The first layer – some mozzarella and a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper (if you so wish)
Add some sharp cheddar
Time to make the Parmesan crust – look at that bubbling molten cheesy pool
And all crusty and toasty warm
Serve with your favorite marinara sauce
Now – try to have just one – I dare you!
