Ingredients
- 2cups coarsely shredded Cheddar, Muenster, Swiss or mozzarella cheese (or a combination of these cheeses)
- Oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and black pepper as desired
- ⅛pound pepperoni, salami or cooked sausage, sliced into small pieces
- 4sun-dried tomatoes, if available, cut into slivers
Preparation
- Step 1
In an 11- or 12-inch skillet, preferably the nonstick kind, spread the shredded cheese evenly over the bottom. Turn heat to medium.
- Step 2
As the cheese melts, sprinkle the seasonings on top and arrange the bits of meat and tomatoes according to personal preference.
- Step 3
Fry the cheese until the edges become crisp and brown. Meanwhile, fill the kitchen sink with about 1 inch of cold water.
- Step 4
When the cheese is done (edges slightly crisp, but the center not yet brown on top), remove the pan from the heat, and set it in the sink to cool the bottom quickly. After 30 to 45 seconds, take a fork and lift the cheese ''pie'' out of the skillet, transferring it to a cutting board. With a chef's knife or pizza cutter, cut it into small wedges and serve.

Cooking Notes
I'd also suggest that some frying pans can be damaged by moving from hot to cold as suggested.
The flavor is very good. I have to find fault with the cooling method. A 11 or 12" skillet has a handle. That did not fit in my sink so only one side really cooled. It came out by prying with the fork & did not stick. I think I would use a little more cheese or a slightly smaller pan in the future as the cheese in the middle was quite thin. I used small pieces of fried beef for the peperoni & added a very thinly sliced mushroom.
