CHEF JENN’S TIPS
- The Ninja Woodfire Grill takes a while to preheat. Once it’s hot, it grills hot and fast. Make sure you have everything prepped and ready to go.
- Do not use Woodfire Smoke with this, as it is too strong for the sandwich.
- This recipe serves 4-6 people depending on the size of the sourdough bread you use, but you can easily double or triple this recipe to serve a crowd.
- Make sure to use the griddle plate for this recipe.
MAKE IT A MEAL
This Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese is a fun snack or a quick meal, but it can be turned into a feast by adding a few sides. This hearty sandwich goes well with potato salad and corn on the cob. If you want something on the lighter side, consider salads filled with fresh vegetables, Mexican corn salad, or grilled sides like grilled vegetables.
STORAGE
This Ultimate Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese is too delicious to have leftovers, but if you do, store leftover sandwiches in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat the sandwiches on the Ninja Woodfire Grill until heated through or reheat using an air fryer, toaster oven, or skillet.
