Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons salted butter, softened
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 thick slices Italian bread
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, divided, or more as needed
2 cups chopped fresh spinach
½ cup giardiniera, drained
2 slices mozzarella cheese
2 slices provolone cheese
2 slices Asiago cheese
2 slices Fontina cheese
3 slices Roma tomato, cut lengthwise, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Mix butter and garlic in a small bowl until well combined. Spread 1/2 of the butter onto one side of each slice of bread; set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat; stir in spinach and giardiniera. Saute until spinach is wilted and mixture is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
  • Place 1 slice of bread, buttered-side down, into one side of the warm skillet. Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in the other side of the skillet. Place mozzarella slices in the skillet and cook until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Place mozzarella slices on top of the bread in the skillet. Repeat with the provolone, Asiago, and Fontina slices.
  • Add spinach mixture and tomato slices to the skillet, adding more oil if necessary, and cook until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Place spinach mixture on top of the cheese, followed by the tomatoes and the remaining slice of bread, buttered-side up. Flip the sandwich and cook until browned and cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes.

FRENCH ONION GRILLED CHEESE



French Onion Grilled Cheese image

Grilled cheese is a near-perfect food on its own, but adding bacon, kimchi or, in this case, heaps of caramelized onions really makes it special. Caramelizing onions takes a good half-hour, so save this recipe for when you have a little extra time and company (this recipe serves two). If time permits, you could even prep them ahead in a slow cooker. Rather than layer the grated Gruyère and the warm caramelized onions in the sandwich, you should stir them together before assembling, which guarantees that the cheese will melt evenly throughout and that each bite will contain the perfect ratio of fragrant cheese to jammy onions. A splash of sherry, red-wine or white-wine vinegar added to the onions balances out the buttery flavors, but a side salad dressed with a tangy mustard vinaigrette would do the trick, too.

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound yellow or Vidalia onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 teaspoons sherry, red-wine or white-wine vinegar (optional)
4 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
4 slices bread, cut no wider than 1/2-inch thick

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the onions are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. If the onions look dry or like they might burn, add a few tablespoons of water at a time, scraping up any browned bits that are stuck to the bottom of the skillet. If desired, once the onions are done, deglaze the skillet with vinegar and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Transfer the onions to a medium bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Wipe out the skillet, or wash it, if necessary.
  • Add the cheese to the onions and stir to combine. Put down two slices of bread, and scoop half of the cheese-onion mixture onto each one. Top with the remaining slices of bread, and press down gently.
  • In the skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until the bottoms turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, reducing the heat to prevent toast from darkening too quickly, if needed. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, flip the sandwiches, press down and cook until the cheese has fully melted and the bottoms turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

Grilled Sausage Sandwiches with Caramelized Onions and Gruyère Cheese image

Categories     Sandwich     Onion     Sausage     Winter     Swiss Cheese     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon (packed) dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
3 fully cooked smoked sausages (such as white bratwurst or chicken-apple)
4 large slices rye or pumpernickel bread
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 ounces Gruyère or Emmenthal cheese, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar, sugar and caraway seeds. Reduce heat to medium-low and sauté until onions are deep brown and very tender, about 20 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat before using.)
  • Preheat broiler. Brush 11x7-inch metal baking pan with oil. Place sausages in pan. Broil until sausages are brown and crisp, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer sausages to work surface and cut lengthwise in half.
  • Arrange 3 sausage halves on each of 2 bread slices. Spread 2 teaspoons mustard over sausages on each. Top sausages with caramelized onions, dividing equally. Top with Gruyère or Emmenthal cheese slices, dividing equally. Cover with remaining 2 bread slices. Spread half of butter over upper bread slices.
  • Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully invert sandwiches, buttered side down, into skillet. Cover and cook until bottoms are brown, about 5 minutes. Spread remaining butter over upper bread slices. Turn sandwiches, cover and cook until bottoms are brown, about 4 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality bread for the best grilled cheese sandwich. Look for a bread that is sturdy enough to hold up to the fillings, but not too thick or dense.
  • Butter the bread liberally before grilling. This will help the bread to brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, gruyère, and fontina.
  • Don't overload the sandwich with fillings. Too many fillings will make the sandwich difficult to eat and may cause the bread to become soggy.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat. This will help the cheese to melt evenly without burning the bread.
  • Flip the sandwich once during cooking to ensure that both sides are evenly browned.
  • Serve the grilled cheese sandwich immediately with your favorite sides, such as tomato soup, chips, or salad.
