SMOKED GOUDA AND ROASTED RED PEPPER GRILLED CHEESE



Smoked Gouda and Roasted Red Pepper Grilled Cheese image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Eight 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick slices Pullman bread
4 ounces smoked gouda, very thinly sliced with a cheese slicer
4 slices muenster cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 medium jarred roasted red pepper, drained, dried and thinly sliced
2 cups baby arugula
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

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.

SMOKED GOUDA MAC AND CHEESE

This is a marvelously smooth mac and cheese with a bit of a bite. My family loves this. I got the idea from a recipe made on a popular cooking show, and adapted it to my own recipe and tastes. Delicious contrast if served with a 'sweet' main dish.

SMOKED GOUDA AND BROCCOLI FLATBREADS



Smoked Gouda and Broccoli Flatbreads image

There are equal amounts of cheese and broccoli on this flatbread, but it's the smoked Gouda that grabs your attention. Its buttery and lightly smoked flavor is accentuated by the scallions, which sweeten and brown as they roast. These are super speedy with the help of store-bought flatbread, naan or pocketless pita, but because the breads vary in size, adjust the quantity of topping to cover yours. (If you have extra toppings, make a melt on toast). Feel free to adapt with what you have: Swap out Gouda for another melting cheese like Cheddar or fontina; and for the broccoli, substitute spinach, kale, thinly sliced brussels sprouts or another quick-cooking vegetable.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces smoked Gouda, grated on the small holes of a box grater (about 2 cups)
8 ounces broccoli stems and florets, coarsely chopped (about 3 cups)
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 flatbread, naan or pocketless pita (roughly 8-inch diameter, store-bought or homemade)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees and place a rack in the lower and upper third of the oven. In a large bowl, combine the Gouda, broccoli, scallions and oil. Season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
  • Place the flatbread on two baking sheets, then top evenly with the cheese mixture. Roast, rotating pans halfway through, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted and browned in spots, 8 to 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a crispier sandwich, use a thicker slice of bread.
  • If you don't have smoked Gouda, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
  • Add a fried egg or avocado slices for an extra boost of flavor.
  • Serve the sandwich with a side of your favorite soup or salad.
  • You can also make this sandwich in a panini press.

Conclusion:

The Smoked Gouda Veggie Melt is a delicious and satisfying sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. The combination of smoked Gouda, roasted red peppers, and fresh spinach is irresistible, and the sandwich is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy meal, give this sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed!
