Ingredients

1/2 pound French bread baguette (8 ounces)
8 ounces 'nduja
4 slices (1 ounce each) Weyauwega Star Dairy Mozzarella cheese
4 slices (1 ounce each) Renard's Muenster cheese
4 tablespoons butter, softened

Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Mozzarella or Muenster can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Cut bread widthwise into two sandwich-size pieces, about 5-inches long. Cut each piece lengthwise in half.
Spread 'nduja on four slices of bread. Layer two bread slices with mozzarella and muenster. Top muenster with remaining bread slices 'nduja side down. Spread butter on the outside of sandwiches.
Toast one sandwich, covered, in a large skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes or until side is golden brown. Flip sandwich; cook, uncovered, 2-4 minutes longer or until bread is golden brown and cheeses are melted. Repeat step with remaining sandwich.

Recipe Tips

'Nduja is a cured and spicy, spreadable pork salumi from Italy. It’s traditionally made with pork, spices and a balance of sweet and spicy chili peppers.| The sandwiches can be prepared without covering them during cooking; however, covering them will help the cheeses to melt.

Cheesemonger Tip

Weyauwega Star Dairy crafts quality cheeses with the finest ingredients. Their muenster and whole milk mozzarella are mild and creamy. Both cheeses boast excellent melting properties.
