    Grilled Cheese Sandwiches


    Source of Recipe


    Food Network Kitchens

    List of Ingredients




    Eight 1/2-inch thick slices country-style sourdough bread
    12 ounces Monterey jack, farmhouse cheddar, Gruyere, or imported Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    Add ins: (Choose one)
    8 slices smoked bacon, cooked and broken into 1-inch pieces
    2 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced, and drained on paper towels for 5 minutes
    8 slices baked ham

    Recipe



    Place 4 slices of bread on a cutting board. Lay half the cheese slices on the bread. Lay the bacon, tomato, or ham on top of the cheese. Cover with the remaining cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread and press down slightly.
    Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and melt a tablespoon of the butter. Carefully place 2 of the sandwiches in the pan, and cook 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 until the other side of the sandwiches is toasted and the cheese is melted, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Repeat with the other sandwiches. (If at any time the bread starts to brown too quickly, lower the heat to prevent the bread from scorching before the cheese melts.) Serve
