ANDREA SPADONI'S DELUXE GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Combine the first 5 ingredients. Spread mixture evenly on one side of 4 slices of bread to within 1/4 inch of the edges. Top with the remaining bread slices.
• Spread the outside of each sandwich with softened butter.
• Place the sandwiches on a hot griddle; cook over medium heat until bread is golden, turning once.

ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 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 in 1-inch pieces.
• Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, Parmesan, salt, and 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 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.

CRISPY GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
• Spread one side of each piece of bread with a small amount of softened butter. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan on each slice so it sticks to the butter. Turn one piece over and sprinkle the mixed cheese on top (this will be the filling). Place the other piece of bread on top, with the Parmesan side facing up.
• Carefully transfer the sandwich to the skillet and cook on both sides until the middle filling is melted and gooey. Watch carefully so the surface doesn't burn; it should be a nice deep golden brown. Slice in half and dig in!

GRILLED CHEESE WITH SPINACH AND PANCETTA

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Lay the pancetta in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets and bake until crispy and brown, about 12 to 14 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Cool for 5 minutes and crumble. Set aside.
• In a food processor, combine the butter, cheeses, salt, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Blend until smooth, adding extra oil, as needed, until the mixture is spreadable. Add the spinach and pulse until just combined.
• Preheat a panini maker. Spread the cheese mixture over 8 slices of bread. Top with the crumbled pancetta. Put the remaining bread slices on top. Grill the sandwiches, 2 at a time, until golden and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes, then cut each sandwich in half and arrange on a platter.
