GRILLED TOMATO AND CHEESE



Grilled Tomato and Cheese image

Butter does more for a grilled cheese than just browning the bread. Using cultured butter, one made with fermented cream, can add depth and a touch of sweet and tangy richness, thereby elevating the sandwich to new heights.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large or 2 medium heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes
Kosher salt
Eight 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick slices Pullman bread
12 slices sharp Cheddar or American cheese
6 tablespoons cultured butter, softened

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the tomatoes and lay them on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and let sit to release any water, about 15 minutes. Pat dry.
  • Lay out 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with 2 slices of cheese, making sure that they cover to the edges. Follow with 2 slices of tomato and then 1 more slice of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread. Thinly and evenly spread the butter on both sides of the bread using about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter for each sandwich.
  • Place 2 sandwiches into a nonstick medium skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bread is evenly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip, cover again and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Grilled Cheese-and-Tomato Casserole image

If tomato soup and grilled cheese is your go-to comfort food, then we have the casserole for you. Using the broiler instead of the stovetop makes the work of grilling the bread and cheese easier-try it method when you're cooking sandwiches for a crowd.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
12 slices white bread
12 slices Cheddar (about 12 ounces)
6 slices Swiss cheese (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
4 cups mixed cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 large eggs
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Brush a 9-by-13-inch flameproof baking dish with some of the melted butter.
  • Lay 6 of the bread slices out on a baking sheet in 1 even layer. Brush the tops generously with butter. Broil, rotating the baking sheet as needed, until the bread is golden brown and toasted, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip the slices (untoasted side facing up). Put 2 slices of the Cheddar each on 3 pieces of the bread and 1 slice of the Swiss cheese each on the 3 remaining slices. Return the baking sheet to the broiler until the cheese completely melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Sandwich together each Swiss-topped bread slice with a Cheddar-topped slice. Repeat with the remaining bread, Cheddar and Swiss and more butter.
  • Trim the crusts off the sandwiches, then arrange the sandwiches in 1 layer in the prepared baking dish. Scatter the Parmesan over the top.
  • Scatter the tomatoes on the baking sheet, and toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Broil until they are very soft and the skins are wrinkled and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Scatter the tomatoes over the sandwiches.
  • Switch the broiler to bake, and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the half-and-half, mayonnaise, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. Pour over the tomatoes and sandwiches (the liquid won't completely cover). Cover with foil, and bake until the custard is mostly set, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue to bake until the casserole is hot and golden brown in spots, about 15 minutes more. Scatter the parsley on top, and serve hot.
