Andrea Spadonis Deluxe Grilled Cheese Food

ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the bacon on a baking rack set over a sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, until nicely browned. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and cut in 1-inch pieces.
• Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Lay 12 slices of bread on a board and spread each one lightly with butter. Flip the slices and spread each one generously with the mayonnaise mixture. Don't neglect the corners!
• Grate the cheeses in a food processor fitted with the largest grating disk and combine. Distribute the bacon evenly on half the slices of bread. Pile 1/3 cup grated cheese evenly on top of the bacon and top with the remaining bread slices, sauce side down.
• Meanwhile, heat an electric panini press. When the press is hot, cook the sandwiches for 3 to 5 minutes in batches until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted. Allow to cool for 2 minutes. Cut in half and serve warm.

GRILLED CHEESE DELUXE

Steps:

• Add butter to the outsides of the bread.
• Lay down one slice in stovetop pan, add the 2 slices of cheese, then lay down other slice of bread on top of cheese.
• Cook in the pan till it is a perfect grilled cheese -- about 7-9 minutes.
• Put grilled cheese on plate and immediately pull the two pieces of bread apart.
• Lay the tomato down on the cheesiest side.
• Add 3-4 tbs (big heaping spoons) of mayonnaise to other side and smooth out until you have a very thick layer of mayonnaise.
• You can now add the onion (*which is good but optional*).
• You can also add the lettuce (*optional; I have never added lettuce before, but I am sure it is good, but I would just add mayonnaise and tomato first [and onion if you want]*).
• I add a little salt & pepper to the tomatoes.
• Now lay the mayonnaise cheese bread down on top of the tomatoes for an extremely delicious sandwich!
