    Chef John casually reminiscing about the inside-out grilled cheese sandwich is kinda like one of the Beatles saying "Oh yeah this reminds me this little record we made called Abbey Road". The inside-out grilled cheese is legendary at this point. I still go back and watch that video just for the nostalgia.

    I need to make bread, anyway, so with homemade bread and marinated cheese, oh boy!
    If someone wanted to pull put all the stops, for a small party, you could make these with slices of small baguettes. A good-sized griddle would be best, so you could grill up a bunch at once, and have a helper serve them to your guests on little saucers.
    I suggest the saucers for portion control, so that each guest is sure to get one.

    The Italian sausage from one of your videos a while back would be excellent in this sandwich. I’ve made it twice without stuffing it into the casing because I use it on pizza. It contains a lot of ingredients, but it’s well worth the effort. The anise and marjoram were a little challenging to find, but I did end up buying them locally for around one buck each.

    The fresh mozzarella will actually probably work really well if you pair it with grated pecorino Romano - shred your fresh mozzarella by pulling it apart, then marinate it and grate the pecorino into the marinade. That should be really really good but you gotta use the real pecorino you have to grate yourself! The pecorino brings the flavor and the mozzarella brings the texture it will be perfect and the combination won't suffer the flavorless issue you correctly noted.

    My wife, on the other hand, looked increasingly fearful the more you described what you were doing. To the point she looked at me with deep concern on her face and asked, "Is it soggy?"
    See, she has an EXTREME aversion to soggy foods, and the idea of marinated cheese seems to have cause near apoplexy.
    Please advise, is the cheese, bread, or combi thereof soggy? I need to know or she won't let me make it.

    This sounds like a grilled muffuletta. Take some of the olive relish from Central Grocery. Or whatever brand you can get. Grate your cheese into a tablespoon or two of the relish. That’ll get you the olive oil, seasoning, and pickled vegetables including the olives in one fell swoop. Marinate your cheese in some of this. Proceed as instructed by John!
