Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Source of Recipe


From "The Complete Cooking for Two Cookbook"



List of Ingredients



• 3-1/2 ounces aged Cheddar cheese, cut into 12 equal pieces, room temperature
  
• 1/2 ounce rindless Brie cheese (1 Tbsp)
  
• 1 Tbsp dry white wine or vermouth
  
• 2 tsp minced shallot
  
• 1-1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  
• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  
• 4 slices hearty white sandwich bread
  






Instructions



1. Process Cheddar, Brie, and wine in food processor until smooth paste is formed, 20 to 30 seconds, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add shallot and pulse to combine, 3 to 5 pulses. Combine butter and mustard in bowl.
   
   
2. Working on parchment paper-lined counter, spread mustard butter evenly over slices of bread. Flip two slices of bread over and spread cheese mixture evenly over slices, leaving 1/4-inch border at edge. Top with remaining 2 slices of bread, buttered sides up.
   
   
3. Preheat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Place sandwiches in skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until crisp and golden brown on both sides, 6 to 9 minutes per side, moving sandwiches to ensure even browning. Remove sandwiches from skillet and let sit for 3 minutes before serving.
