While I may spend my days (& nights) baking, cooking doesn’t come as easily to me. I have yet to master working with different spices & seasonings. Yet there are two dishes I can without a doubt always make perfectly: a grilled cheese & pizza bagels.
Granted majority of the time I do find myself making Bagel Bites, homemade pizza bagels are something I’ve loved to make, & eat, since I was a little girl.
Today I figured, why not combine the two dishes I love to eat & can figure out how to cook, into one delicious creation: The Pizza Grilled Cheese.
