This unique grilled cheese is inspired by a New Orleans favorite: the zesty muffuletta sandwich, known for its delicious filling of cheese, pickled peppers, olives, and more. For our vegetarian take, we’re using a duo of tangy pickled goathorn peppers and briny olives, which pairs perfectly with melted cheddar on crispy sourdough bread. Our side salad of butter lettuce tossed with a creamy dressing and topped with cherry tomatoes (yours may be red or yellow) brings refreshing crunch and flavor to the mix.

tips & techniques
1
Prepare the ingredients:
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Using the flat side of your knife, smash the olives; remove and discard the pits, then finely chop. Finely chop the peppers. Thinly slice the cheese. Peel and finely chop the garlic; using the flat side of your knife, smash until it resembles a paste (or use a zester). Cut off and discard the root end of the lettuce; separate the leaves. Halve the tomatoes; place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
2
Make the filling:
In a medium bowl, combine the olives and peppers. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Assemble the sandwiches:
Place the bread slices on a work surface. Divide half the cheddar cheese between 2 of the bread slices; top with the filling and remaining cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Complete the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices.
4
Cook the sandwiches:
In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the sandwiches and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. (If the pan seems dry, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil before flipping the sandwiches.) Transfer to a cutting board; immediately season with salt.
5
Make the dressing:
While the sandwiches cook, in a bowl, combine the labneh cheese, vinegar, and as much of the garlic paste as you’d like. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Make the salad & plate your dish:
Just before serving, place the lettuce in a large bowl. Add enough of the dressing to coat the lettuce (you may have extra dressing). Toss to combine; season with salt and pepper to taste. To the bowl of seasoned tomatoes, add a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper to taste. Cut the cooked sandwiches in half on an angle. Divide the sandwiches and dressed lettuce between 2 dishes. Top the lettuce with the tomatoes. Enjoy!
