# Possibly the Best Grilled Cheese You'll Ever Have - Made In

Tom Colicchio’s grilled cheese pairs fresh mozzarella with spicy ’nduja for a rich, crispy, gooey sandwich with just the right amount of heat.

Like many other dads, I make a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches for the kids. This one started as a way to use the mozzarella from Lombardi’s Love Lane Market, an Italian deli in Mattituck that makes the world’s best fresh mozz. Paired with ‘nduja, a peppery spreadable Italian sausage, the grilled cheese essentially becomes a spicy pizza. It’s decadent for sure, but the spice of the ‘nduja cuts through the richness of the mozzarella. As always, but here especially, low and slow heat is important. It’s the key to developing a nice crust on the bread, while also melting the cheese.

’Nduja can be found at specialty grocers and online. Many packaged versions are shelf stable but require refrigeration once opened.
