Provided by Ina Garten

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:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the bacon on a baking rack set over a sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, until nicely browned. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, parmesan, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Lay 12 slices of bread on a board and spread each one lightly with butter. Flip the slices and spread each one generously with the mayonnaise mixture. Don't neglect the corners!
  • Grate the cheeses in a food processor fitted with the largest grating disk and combine. Distribute the bacon evenly on half of the slices of bread. Pile 1/3 cup grated cheese evenly on top of the bacon and top with the remaining bread slices, sauce-side down.
  • 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.

A Cheddar-and-Monterey Jack grilled cheese is better with bacon.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 slices white bread
4 slices sharp Cheddar
4 slices cooked bacon
2 slices Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Put 2 slices of bread on a cutting board or work surface. Top each with 1 slice of the Cheddar, 2 slices of bacon, a slice of Monterey Jack cheese, the remaining slice of Cheddar and another slice of bread; press down lightly.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until the bread toasts and the cheese is slightly melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn with a spatula and add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the pan. Cook until the second side is toasted and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more, adjusting the heat as needed to keep the bread from burning before the cheese melts.?

Time 5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato ketchup
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons capers, finely chopped
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Small pinch sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients together in a small serving bowl, whisking with a fork.
  • This dressing is delicious spooned over veggie burgers or served as a dip with crudites. I also love it drizzled over a festive vegetarian nut roast the next day in a sandwich. Any unused dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
