GRILLED CHEDDAR, TOMATO AND BACON SANDWICHES
From Bon Appétit, March 2000. Makes the ordinary special. Good for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even brunch and late-night snack. Spreading a little mayonnaise over the outside of the bread before grilling adds golden color and delicious crunch. Experiment with different cheeses, like munster and maybe add a sliced jalapeno. Recipe can easily be reduced for even a single serving.

- Preheat the panini grill to high heat. Ensure the grill is on a slight tilt (not completely flat) and be sure to attach your drip tray.

Lower the top grate to just above the tomatoes without touching them. Grill tomatoes for 10-12 minutes until the outer skins are wrinkly and the tomatoes are soft.

For each sandwich, layer two slices of bacon, two grilled tomatoes and 1/4 of the cheese in between two slices of bread (buttered side out).
