Categories     main-dish

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 ounces sliced melting cheese (about 2 slices), such as American, Cheddar, muenster, Havarti, Swiss, fontina, Mozzarella, Monterey jack, pepper jack, provolone
2 slices bread, such as white, rye, brioche, sourdough, potato, whole wheat, pumpernickel
1 tablespoon fat, such as mayonnaise, butter or olive, chili or coconut oil

Steps:

  • Oven method (great for a crowd of six or fewer): Put a rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Make one sandwich per person: Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat. Place on the preheated baking sheet and cook until the cheese starts to melt, about 5 minutes. Flip the sandwich and bake until golden brown, an additional 5 minutes.
  • Panini press method (for crispy crunchy sandwich that needs minimal attention): Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Preheat a panini press to medium heat. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat and place in the press. Close the top and cook until lightly browned and the cheese is melted, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Skillet method (fool-proof and low-tech): Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon of fat and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the sandwich, and continue cooking until browned and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  • Great combos:
  • 1. Pepper jack and sourdough, brushed with chili oil
  • 2. American and white bread, brushed with butter
  • 3. Swiss and rye, brushed with mayo
  • 4. Cheddar and brioche, brushed with butter

ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE

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.

WALT'S ALMOST FAMOUS GRILLED CHEESE WANTONS



Walt's Almost Famous Grilled Cheese Wantons image

This is a manly recipe not for the faint of heart -- the hardest part is finding the wrappers in the store- they'd go perfectly with a nice cold can of Walt's Beer these take a little experience to get the texture you or your man desires -- soft and chewy or brittle like chips -- I like mine more on the soft, chewy messy side you can try different cheeses and we have added parmigiano to the outside on occasion

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 - 2 wanton wrappers
1 slice(s) cheese -- american or whatever floats your boat
1 - pat of butter
VARIATIONS
- dust the outside with parmegiano
- use 2 or more cheeses
SERVING TIPS
- serve with a nice bottle of walter's beer

Steps:

  • cook just like any other Grilled Cheese except with wanton wrappers -- if the pan is not hot enough it comes out a chewy thing which is really good but messy -- the hotter the pan and the longer you fry the more brittle it gets -- you can take your choice on which way you want it - it's easier to handle it you let it cool just a little
