We all love Cheese Burst Pizza, but making it at home can be a long process. It’s easy, but it takes time, and ordering it from outside is quite expensive. Now, if you want to enjoy the same cheesy goodness at home, you can make it in the form of a pizza sandwich! Yes, I’ve come up with a super simple recipe for you.

In this recipe, we’ll make a pizza-flavored filling with paneer, veggies, and pizza sauce. Then, we’ll create a quick and cheesy sauce using cheese and milk. Finally, we’ll assemble everything like a sandwich and toast it. When you cut it open, you’ll find a delicious layer of pizza filling and melted cheesy sauce inside—just like a Cheese Burst Pizza. It’s super tasty and fun to eat. The best part? You can make this recipe at home in just a few minutes with simple ingredients. Let’s get started!

How to Make Cheesy Sauce for Pizza Sandwich

First, let’s prepare a quick cheesy sauce for our Cheese Burst Pizza Sandwich.

Boil Water: Start by boiling some water in a pan. Place a heatproof bowl on top of it. You can use a glass bowl or any other heatproof utensil.

Melt Cheese: Grate 150 grams of processed cheese and add it to the bowl. We’re going to melt the cheese using the double boiler method (this prevents the cheese from burning).

Add Butter and Milk: Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 100 ml of milk to the melted cheese. Mix everything well using a spoon, fork, or whisk until you get a smooth, cheesy sauce.

Customize Your Sauce: If you like, you can customize the sauce. Add chopped jalapenos for a jalapeno cheesy dip, or chop some garlic and green chilies to make a cheese chili garlic dip.

Store the Sauce: Once made, this cheesy sauce can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days. Just heat it in the microwave or use the double boiler method again to melt it when needed.

Your homemade cheesy sauce is ready! You can also use it as a dip for pizza or garlic breadsticks. Now, let’s move on to making the pizza-flavored filling.

How to Make Pizza-Flavored Filling

Next, let’s make a simple pizza-flavored filling.

• 1/3 cup of boiled corn
• 1 large chopped capsicum
• 1 large chopped onion
• 2 chopped green chilies
• 4 tablespoons of pizza sauce
• 2 tablespoons of ketchup
• 1/3 teaspoon of oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon of red chili flakes
• A pinch of salt

• 50 grams of grated processed cheese (optional for extra binding)

Mix Everything: Mix all the ingredients well. This pizza filling is super easy to make and can be prepared in no time. You can also use veggies of your choice. I love the combination of bell peppers, onion, and corn, but feel free to add mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, carrots, or green peas. Just boil the veggies that can’t be eaten raw, and add them to the mix.

Paneer Option: If you want to skip paneer and use only vegetables, that’s perfectly fine. I’ve used a combination of paneer and vegetables here.

Twist the Flavor: If you don’t have pizza sauce, you can use a mixture of Szechuan sauce and ketchup. It won’t have the exact pizza flavor, but the oregano and chili flakes will give you a spicy pizza-type filling.

Now, with our cheesy sauce and pizza filling ready, it’s time to assemble our pizza sandwich.

How to Assemble and Toast the Pizza Sandwich

Prepare Bread: Take 3 slices of sandwich bread for each sandwich.

Layer the Sandwich:

• Spread a generous amount of the cheesy sauce on one slice of bread.
• Add a layer of the pizza-flavored filling on top of the sauce.
• Place another slice of bread on top, and add more cheesy sauce and filling if you like.
• Finally, top it with the third slice of bread.

Toast the Sandwich: You can toast the sandwich using a toaster, a griddle, or a panini grill machine. The goal is to make the bread crispy on the outside while keeping the filling hot and melty on the inside.

Cut and Serve: Once toasted, cut the sandwich in half to reveal the gooey cheese and pizza filling inside. Serve it hot and enjoy your homemade pizza sandwich that tastes just like a Cheese Burst Pizza!
