Time 50m

Yield 12 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
10 slices bacon
1 12-pack pull-apart dinner rolls
6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1/2 tomato, finely chopped
4 slices provolone cheese
3 slices muenster cheese

Flip the bottom piece and continue to broil until toasted on the other side, 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove from the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  • Turn the bottom bread piece cut-side up and sprinkle with the bacon. Top with the chopped tomato, then shingle the provolone and muenster on top, alternating the two. Cover with the top bread piece, then brush the roll tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter. Bake until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted, 12 to 15 minutes.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 slices thick-cut bacon, such as Nodine's applewood smoked
1 cup good mayonnaise
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 white pullman loaf or sourdough bread, sliced 1/2-inch thick (12 slices)
6 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
6 ounces aged gruyere or comte cheese
6 ounces extra-sharp cheddar, such as Cabot or Shelburne Farms

Steps:

  • Meanwhile, heat an electric panini press. When the press is hot, cook the sandwiches for 3 to 5 minutes in batches until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted. Allow to cool for 2 minutes. Cut in half and serve warm.

BACON & GORGONZOLA "GRILLED" CHEESE



Bacon & Gorgonzola

Grilled cheese and Bacon is my go-to dish. But sometimes I just don't want all the extra fat that comes from actually "grilling" it. I find that as long as the ingredients are premium, putting the sandwich in the toaster oven is a great alternative.
