The Godfather of Grilled Cheese Sandwiches image

There are times in our daily lives when we just have a case of the blues & nothing is as therapeuitc for it as a grilled cheese sandwich - the ultimate comfort food! This unique grilled cheese sandwich uses blue to cure the blues & puts a bit of an Italian twist on an otherwise British effort .. hence the Godfather title. I can't recall now where the idea originated, but I've been playing w/it for quite a while & have modified it from the original to suit our preferences. I suggest you try it - it may work well as a blues preventative for you too!

Time 30m

Yield 4 Grilled Sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
2 ounces blue cheese (crumbled)
3 ounces bacon (cooked crisp & crumbled)
3 ounces fresh tomatoes (diced, use only tomato meat or pulp)
4 tablespoons Italian salad dressing
8 slices bread

Steps:

  • Combine the cream cheese w/the blue cheese & mix well to a smooth consistency.
  • Add crisped bacon pieces & diced tomato to the cheese mixture & mix just well enough to achieve a good distribution.
  • Put 8 slices sandwich bread on your cutting board or counter. Using a pastry brush, brush approx 1/2 tbsp of the Italian salad dressing on ea slice of bread.
  • Turn over 4 slices of the bread & spread 3 oz of the cheese mixture on those 4 slices (You should have 12 oz of cheese mixture for this).
  • Top ea of those slices w/the other 4 slices so all the exposed bread surfaces are the ones spread w/the Italian salad dressing.
  • Grill your sandwiches & enjoy!
