Provided by Anna Stockwell

Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons mayonnaise
12 slices soft white sandwich bread
3 cups coarsely grated cheese (such as Monterey Jack, cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix; about 12 ounces)
Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper
Special equipment:
2 (13x18") rimmed baking sheets

Steps:

Position rimmed baking sheet on a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 450°F. Spread about 1 1/2 tsp. mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Arrange 6 slices, mayo side down, on second inverted rimmed baking sheet. Mound 1/2 cup cheese in the center of each slice, season with salt and pepper, and top each with remaining bread slices, mayo side up.
Using oven mitts, carefully remove preheated baking sheet from oven and place, rimmed side up, on top of sandwiches, then, holding both rimmed baking sheets together, return to oven. Bake until bread is browned and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Carefully remove baking sheets from oven and transfer sandwiches to a cutting board. Cut into pieces and serve.

Oven Grilled Cheese for a Crowd image

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

16 slices high-quality white bread
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 lb mild cheddar cheese, shredded (we like sharp cheddar)

Steps:

Position oven racks to the upper-middle and lower-middle position; heat oven to 475°.
Brush each side of the bread slices lightly with the melted butter and spread them out in a single layer over two baking sheets.
Toast the bread in the oven to a light golden brown, 10-15 minutes, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through the baking time.
Assemble eight sandwiches, each filled with 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese, making sure that the more toasted-looking sides of the bread are facing outward.
Lay the sandwiches on a baking sheet and press lightly on each of them.
Cover the baking sheet tightly with foil and bake until the cheese is thoroughly melted, 5-10 minutes.
Make ahead--the bread can be toasted, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap, and kept at room temperature for up to 24 hours in advance.
