Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

**tomato, sliced into rounds
**any good melting cheese
**fresh cilantro leaves
**fresh onion slices, opt
**thai chili sauce
**spray oil
any good sturdy bread

Steps:

  • 1. I've used good quality sandwich bread, but day old focaccia bread, french bread or ciabatta bread or buns works wonderfully as well. For cheese Iv'e used pepper jack, Asadero, Muenster, Cheddar, I do prefer a white melting cheese.
  • 2. Slice tomato(es) and cook over low heat in a non stick skillet with a tsp of olive oil for about 10 min. turning once.
  • 3. Spray one side of bread with spray oil, spread Thai chili sauce on other side. You want the Thai chili sauce on the inside of your sandwich, place cheese on on Thai sauce.
  • 4. Place tomatoes on next.
  • 5. Then onion slices and cilantro.
  • 6. Finish off with more cheese. Toast on griddle, grill or in skillet till bread is browned and cheese is melted.

GRILLED TOMATO AND CHEESE

Butter does more for a grilled cheese than just browning the bread. Using cultured butter, one made with fermented cream, can add depth and a touch of sweet and tangy richness, thereby elevating the sandwich to new heights.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large or 2 medium heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes
Kosher salt
Eight 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick slices Pullman bread
12 slices sharp Cheddar or American cheese
6 tablespoons cultured butter, softened

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the tomatoes and lay them on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and let sit to release any water, about 15 minutes. Pat dry.
  • Lay out 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with 2 slices of cheese, making sure that they cover to the edges. Follow with 2 slices of tomato and then 1 more slice of cheese. 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 nonstick medium 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.
