Add a bit more olive oil to pan, if needed.
Place one slice bread in pan, cover with olives, then with cheese slices, and lastly the other slice of bread.

Baked Green Olives in Spicy Cheese Pastry image

Provided by Pellerin

Time 30m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated, Tillamook is best
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup margarine (softened) or 1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
20 large spanish green olives (X-large Queens from Costco)

Steps:

Mix the cheese and flour, and then mix in the margarine and cayenne, working the dough with your hands if it seems dry. Form a log in plastic wrap and chill in fridge over night. You want this to be fairly dry and crumbly. Mold approximately 1 tablespoon dough around each olive. The warmth from you hands will help keep it together. Bake at 400° for about 20 minutes or until golden. Serve hot, warm, or cold. (I prefer them hot ;-).

Ultimate Grilled Cheese image

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.
