Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years.

Bruschetta Chopped Cheese Sandwich

Bruschetta Chopped Cheese Sandwich

A variation on a chopped cheese sandwich with mozzarella and bruschetta tomatoes!

Chopped cheese sandwiches, sandwiches with “chopped” ground beef, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayo in a bun, are a favourite of mine and this is a slightly different take on them with a bruschetta theme. Bruschetta is a dish where bread is brushed with olive oil, grilled and rubbed with garlic before topping it with a fresh tomato mixture typically with garlic, onions, basil and a splash of balsamic vinegar. This recipe is a basic chopped cheese with the cheddar cheese being replaced with fresh mozzarella and the sliced tomatoes being replaced with a tomato bruschetta style mixture!

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional) (gluten-free for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional) (gluten-free for gluten-free)
  • 1 (8 ounce) ball fresh mozzarella, sliced (or 4 slices mozzarella)
  • 4 hoagies/buns/rolls, cut in half (optionally toasted) (gluten-free for gluten-free)
  • 4 tablespoon mayonnaise

  3. Flip the beef, press it into the pan, and cook until deep golden brown, about 5-8 minutes.
  4. Chop the beef to break it apart, add the onion, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, and cook until the beef is cooked.
  5. Place the slices of cheese on top of the beef and let it melt before turning off the heat.
