Ultimate Gourmet Grilled Cheese image

This gourmet grilled cheese is loaded with herbed caramelized onions, gooey gruyere and white cheddar cheeses, and is cooked in a savory rosemary butter!

Provided by The Chunky Chef

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 slices good quality bread (I used thick cut Artisan bread)
Mayonnaise (for spreading)
12 oz Gruyere cheese (sliced thinly OR grated, at room temperature)
6 oz White cheddar cheese (sliced thinly OR grated, at room temperature)
4 slices thin Muenster cheese (at room temperature)
2 yellow onions (diced)
1 tsp fresh thyme (minced)
2 tsp fresh rosemary (minced, divided)
1 tsp brown sugar
Salt and pepper (to taste)
3 Tbsp butter (divided)
1 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Add 1 1/2 Tbsp butter and olive oil to a skillet and heat over MED-LOW heat. Add diced onions, salt, pepper, fresh thyme and 1 tsp of fresh rosemary to the hot skillet and saute, stirring often, until onions are soft and starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir brown sugar into the onions and cook another minute.
  • Transfer onions to a plate.
  • Spread one side of two pieces of bread with a little bit of mayonnaise.
  • To the same skillet, add remaining butter and rosemary, and heat over MED heat. Swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet with the melted butter.
  • Add both pieces of bread, mayonnaise side down, and cook until bread is golden brown and crunchy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • As soon as you add the bread to the skillet, add a bit of cheese to the top of each piece of bread. Once it starts to melt a little, sprinkle a couple tablespoons of the caramelized onions over the top of one of the pieces of bread.
  • When the bread is good and golden brown, sandwich the pieces of bread together and cook on LOW until cheese is fully melted.
  • Transfer to a plate, repeat with remaining slices of bread and ingredients.
  • Slice and enjoy!

BEST GRILLED CHEESE EVER



Best Grilled Cheese Ever image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 poblano or Anaheim chiles (or you may use canned whole green chiles)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
8 slices rye bread
12 slices provolone
2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
8 slices Cheddar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

Steps:

  • Begin by roasting the chiles over the flame on your stovetop (or under the broiler) until the skin is totally blackened (if using fresh). When the chiles are totally charred, throw them into a plastic bag. Seal and allow them to steam and cool.
  • Next, pour the white vinegar over the sliced red onion and let them sit awhile. This'll take away a little of the crazy onion flavor and leave them with a nice sweetness.
  • Finally, make the special sauce: equal amounts of mayonnaise and Dijon. It's the simple things in life!
  • When you're ready to make the sandwiches, scrape the blackened skin off the chiles. Scrape out the seeds, too, so you'll wind up with big pieces of roasted green chiles.
  • For each sandwich, generously spread 2 pieces of rye bread with the special sauce. Lay on 2 slices of provolone, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of Cheddar... a nice layer of roasted green chiles... a few red onion slices... and one more slice of provolone just to hold it all together.
  • Top with the other slice of bread and spread the outsides with a good amount of butter.
  • Toast the sandwich in a skillet over medium-low heat until the cheese is thoroughly melted inside. Be careful not to burn the bread!

ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE

Provided by Ina Garten

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Look for fresh, flavorful bread, cheese, and fillings.
  • Spread the butter all the way to the edges of the bread: This will help to create a golden brown, crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're making multiple sandwiches, cook them in batches so that they have plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bread from burning.
  • Flip the sandwich only once: Flipping the sandwich too often will make the bread soggy.
  • Let the sandwich rest for a few minutes before slicing: This will help the cheese to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

The grilled cheese sandwich is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
