SMOKED GOUDA AND ROASTED RED PEPPER GRILLED CHEESE
Smoked gouda, while having a wonderful and inimitable flavor, has trouble achieving that gooey, iconic cheesy stretch that makes grilled cheese sandwiches so pleasing. By adding a partner cheese with a less assertive flavor and higher melting property, like deli muenster, you can achieve both melting and flavor perfection.

Steps:
- Lay out 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with some of the smoked gouda, 1 slice of the muenster, a thin layer of sliced red pepper (about 2 tablespoons), 1/2 cup of the baby arugula and another layer of smoked gouda. 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 medium nonstick 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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F (broil).
- Line a small baking sheet with foil. Put the pepper on the baking sheet and broil until the skin is beginning to char, using tongs to turn occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and wrap the foil around the pepper. (Use oven mitts!) Let the pepper steam in the foil for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pepper from the foil and transfer it to a cutting board. Peel off the skin, cut off the stem, pull out the seeds, and discard them. Cut the rest of the pepper into thick strips.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto onto the bottoms of the ciabatta bread. Divide the pepper strips onto the bread, then place the mozzarella slices on top of the pepper strips. Top with the remaining slices of bread and brush the tops with olive oil. (If you're going to serve the sandwiches cold, don't brush them with oil-just eat them!)
- Heat a grill pan or griddle over medium heat. Flip the sandwiches over and place them on the grill pan oiled-side down, then brush the other side of the sandwich with oil. Use a spatula to press the sandwiches down slightly, but don't press too hard or you'll have a mess of mozzarella everywhere! Cook 5-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Place the whole peppers on a sheet pan and place in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the skins are completely wrinkled and the peppers are charred, turning them twice during roasting. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Set aside for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Remove the stem from each pepper and cut them in quarters. Remove the peels and seeds and place the peppers in a bowl along with any juices that have collected. Discard the stems, peels, and seeds. Pour the oil and vinegar mixture over the peppers. Stir in the capers. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread the bottom half of the loaf with the goat cheese. Add a layer of peppers and then a layer of basil leaves. Separate the onions into rings and spread out on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with the top half of the ciabatta and cut into individual servings.

Steps:

ROASTED PEPPER AND GOAT CHEESE SANDWICH
Travel sandwiches require good keeping properties. The ingredients have to hold up for hours at room temperature and can't be too moist, or the bread will become soggy and fall apart. In deference to fellow travelers, I choose fillings that taste great but aren't pungent. (Garlic aioli has a place in my life, but it's not within the confines of an airplane.)

Steps:
- If using whole wheat bread, lightly toast it. This will prevent sandwich from becoming soggy. If using a roll with a hard crust, there is no need to toast.
- In a bowl, mash goat cheese with a fork or spoon and stir in chopped herbs.
- Spread equal amounts of goat cheese on each slice of bread or on both halves of roll. Top the bottom half with roasted pepper and cover with other slice of bread or half of roll. Cut in half if using bread, or into quarters if using a ciabatta roll. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic if transporting. The sandwich keeps well for 2 days.

ROASTED RED PEPPER, PEPPER JACK, AND PEPPERONI SANDWICHES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Cut eight 1/2-inch-thick slices from center of sourdough loaf. In a small bowl toss together pepper Jack and coriander.
- Make sandwiches on bread with pepperoni, roasted peppers, and cheese mixture. Bake sandwiches on a baking sheet in middle of oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Tips:
- Use ripe red peppers for the best flavor. Roasting intensifies the sweetness of the peppers, so using ripe ones will ensure the most delicious results.
- Roast the peppers until they are slightly charred. This will give them a smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the cheese.
- Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor. A combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other types of cheeses, such as fontina, Gruyère, or goat cheese.
- Spread the pesto on the bread before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
- Grill the sandwich until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will ensure that the sandwich is hot and gooey.
Conclusion:
Roasted red pepper and cheese sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. They are perfect for using up leftover roasted peppers, and they can be customized to your liking by using different types of cheese and pesto.
