Outdoor Grilled Cheese Sandwich (Curtis Stone) image

I like some of Curtis Stone's recipes and this one I love! However, since nectarines aren't one of my favorite foods we subbed Apricot Chutney with the dish instead of Tangerine Chutney. To make things simpler - I will post it as was intended. My Apricot Chutney is very simple; apricot jam or preserves, rice vinegar, mustard seed & fresh minced ginger - put it in a pan bring to boil and conitnue stirring often until reduced to 2 cups & voila! Make the nectarine syrup first - then you can take care of the ciabatta! ;) It takes about 25 minutes to make.

Steps:

  • FOR SANDWICH:.

  • Lightly brush the cut sides of the ciabatta with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Rub the cut sides of the ciabatta with the garlic clove.
  • Place the ciabatta oiled side down on the grill and cook until just barely golden brown rotating but not turning over to toast evenly about 3 minutes.
  • Remove the ciabatta from the grill and reduce the heat of one burner to low.
  • Spread the toasted side of the bottom ciabatta piece with the mustard.
  • Spoon the chutney over the other toasted side.
  • Scatter half of the Gruyere cheese evenly over the mustard.
  • Tear off pieces of the St Andre cheese and scatter it over the Gruyere.
  • Then scatter the remaining Gruyere cheese over.
  • Cover with the top half of the ciabatta chutney side down and press firmly to hold the sandwich together.
  • Lightly brush the sandwich with oil.
  • Place the sandwich on the grill over the burner on low heat.
  • Close the hood and grill until the cheese melts and the bread is golden brown rotating the sandwich as needed to brown evenly about 8 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the sandwich to a cutting board; open the sandwich and scatter the arugula over the cheese.
  • Close the sandwich.

This grilled cheese sandwich was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some additional seasoning.

This grilled cheese sandwich was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been cooked in a pan instead of on the grill.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my grilled cheese sandwich turned out burnt. I think I left it on the grill for too long.

I was a bit skeptical about grilling a cheese sandwich, but I'm so glad I tried it! It was so much better than the traditional pan-fried grilled cheese.
