Grilled PBP

So what I created  is actually a cross between a grilled cheese and a BLT with an Italiano twist!!  And its almost just as easy to prepare.  PBP stands for: Pancetta, Basil, and Peppers.

INGREDIENTS:
multi-grain bread (thats what I used, but you can probably use whatever you'd like)
olive oil
kosher salt (optional)
marinated roasted red peppers
fresh grated mozzarella at room temperature
basil leaves (sliced into thin ribbons)
pancetta slices

DIRECTIONS:
Brush olive oil on one side of each slice of bread.  If desired, LIGHTLY sprinkle with kosher salt (this can easily become too salty so you may want to shake off the excess as you would with glitter and paper.) On a preheated griddle (Med-Hi) cook your pancetta slices and heat the roasted red peppers.  Set aside. Wipe off any debris left on the griddle with a paper towel if needed.  Assemble your sandwich on the griddle with olive oil side of bread facing down.  Layer with mozzarella, basil, peppers, pancetta, and more mozzarella, and lastly the second piece of oiled bread.  Grill until golden and the cheese has melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.  :)

Seriously one of my best sandwich creations yet!!!
