Sweet potatoes are perfect this time of year—a twist on a grilled cheese that will make you fall in love. Tomato soup and warm melted cheese with a touch of sweetness wrapped up all together.
I love creating meals that make me feel like the people eating the regular grilled cheese are missing out. Perfect for meatless Monday or bringing some bright color into a gloomy winter day, bursting with summer flavor from the bruschetta.
Serve with some Grilled Spice Gazpacho
Notes
look for a even shaped sweet potato.
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1/4 cup Bruschetta Mix
- 3 slices fresh Mozzarella

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash sweet potato. Slice sweet potato into 6 even slices lengthwise. Brush each side of sweet potato with olive oil. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

Place a slice of Mozzarella and provolone on three of the sweet potato slices. Place a sweet potato slice onto each piece with cheese. Place back in the oven and turn oven to broil for five minutes.
