Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 slices white sandwich bread, such as country white bread
4 teaspoons salted butter, at room temperature
4 slices American cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat a griddle or nonstick skillet to medium-low. Spread 2 teaspoons of the butter on one side of a bread slice. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread. Place one of the slices butter-side down and shingle the cheese on top, covering the entire surface. Top with the other slice of bread, butter-side up.
  • Place the sandwich on the griddle and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. If the bread is browning too quickly, shift the griddle off the heat. Flip the sandwich, then cover with a small metal bowl and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Once golden brown on both sides, toast the edges of the sandwich, if desired. Transfer to a cutting board, cut in half on the bias and serve immediately.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

8 slices smoked bacon, cooked and broken into 1-inch pieces,
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced, and drained on paper towels for 5 minutes

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place 4 slices of bread on a cutting board and generously butter the top sides of each slice. Melt another tablespoon of the butter in the skillet; swirl around to coat the pan.
  • Lay 2 slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Put a few slices of the cheese on the bread. Lay the bacon, tomato, or ham on top of the cheese. Cover with a few more slices of cheese. Top with 2 of the remaining slices of bread, placed buttered-side up. Cook, without pressing, until the bread browns and the cheese is slightly melted, about 5 minutes. Turn the sandwiches with a spatula and add a small hazelnut-size piece of butter to the pan. Cook slowly, adjusting the heat as needed to melt the cheese completely before the sandwiches are brown, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with the other 2 sandwiches. Serve.

BEST GRILLED CHEESE EVER

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!

Tips:

  • Choose low-fat options: Use low-fat cheese, low-fat milk, and whole-wheat or low-carb bread to reduce the overall fat and calorie content of the sandwich.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Don't limit yourself to just cheese; try adding lean protein like grilled chicken or turkey, or vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers. This will add flavor and nutritional value to the sandwich.
  • Grill the sandwich properly: Butter one side of each slice of bread and place them, butter-side down, in a preheated skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and gooey and the bread is golden brown.
  • Add a side of fruit or salad: To make a complete meal, serve the grilled cheese sandwich with a side of fresh fruit or a salad. This will add fiber and vitamins to the meal.
