You probably make your grilled cheese in a pan. But we say it's time to take it outside and get that sandwich all nice and melty on the BBQ.

Ingredients

  • 1 red sweet pepper

  • 2 tomatoes

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • generous pinches Italian seasoning

  • generous pinches salt

  • generous pinches black pepper

  • 8 slices Texas toast, or other thick-sliced bread

  • 6 oz cheddar, sliced

  • 4 slices Black Forest ham, or prosciutto

Instructions

  • Oil barbecue grill, then preheat to medium. Slice tomatoes into thick rounds and cut peppers into quarters. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with seasonings.

  • Brush one side of each slice of bread lightly with oil, then place, oiled side down, on a large cutting board, platter or baking sheet. Top 4 slices with cheese, leaving a 1/2-in (1 cm) border around edges.

  • Arrange all 8 slices, oiled side down, on the hot grill, alongside tomatoes and peppers. Barbecue, covered, until grill marks form, cheese begins to melt and vegetables are tender, 2 minutes for the bread and 2-4 minutes per side for vegetables, removing items to cutting board as each is done.

  • Layer cheese-topped bread slices with grilled tomatoes and peppers, then slices of ham. Top with remaining bread, grilled side up. Serve immediately.
