Grilled Apple Bacon And Cheddar Sandwich With Roasted Red Onion Mayo Food

GRILLED CHEESE WITH APPLE AND BACON

Steps:

• Spread dijon mustard on 4 slices country white bread. Top with sliced cheddar cheese, cooked bacon and sliced Granny Smith apple, then top with 4 more slices bread. Butter the sandwiches, then cook in a skillet over medium-low heat until the cheese melts and the bread is golden, about 3 minutes per side.
• Serve with Roasted Tomato Soup, recipe follows.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Core and halve the tomatoes (leave the cherry tomatoes whole). Heat a flameproof roasting pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle with the 1/2 cup olive oil, then spread all of the tomatoes, the garlic and onions in the pan. Cook, stirring gently, until the garlic is browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the tomatoes are caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the roasted tomatoes, garlic and onions from the oven and transfer to a large stockpot (set aside the cherry tomatoes for garnish). Add 3 cups chicken stock, the bay leaves and butter. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid is reduced by one-third, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
• Add the basil to the pot. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or puree in a regular blender and return to the pot). Reduce the heat to low, add the heavy cream and adjust the consistency with the remaining 1 cup chicken stock, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with the roasted cherry tomatoes; drizzle with olive oil.

CHEDDAR AND APPLE GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• In an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Tear in half and set aside.
• Into the same skillet, add the brown sugar, onions and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook, stirring as needed, until the onions are golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Build the grilled cheese by spreading one piece of bread with the mayonnaise. Sprinkle half of the grated cheese on top, followed by the onions. Place the apple slices and bacon on top of the onions, then add the rest of the cheese. Spread the other slice of bread with the mustard and put it mustard-side down on top of the cheese. Spread the outside of the top bread slice with 1 tablespoon butter.
• Transfer the sandwich to the skillet over medium-low heat, butter-side down. Spread the top of the sandwich with the remaining tablespoon butter. Toast each side of the sandwich until golden on the outside and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cut in half and serve.

GRILLED HAM AND CHEDDAR SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, steak and Worcestershire sauces, dry mustard, and cayenne in small bowl.
• Spread 4 slices bread with thin layer of grainy mustard and top with layer of onion, 2 pieces of ham, and the cheese. Spread mayonnaise mixture over remaining bread and place on sandwiches. Brush both sides of sandwiches with butter.
• Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches and fry, turning once, until golden, about 3 m inutes each side. Serve hot.

ROASTED RED ONION MAYO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375*F.
• Spread roughly chopped onions out on a small rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss all together to coat and spread evenly on the pan. Roast for 25-30 minutes, checking at 20 and again at 25. Onions should be soft and starting to brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
• Once onions are cooled, put them into a food processor and pulse until the onions are finely chopped. Add mayo and pulse until the spread becomes incorporated. Taste for desired seasoning, adding more if desired. (If the spread sits in the fridge overnight while flavors meld, the flavor will change, so use caution on the seasonings). I recommended that you make this at least 8 hours before using for best taste.
• Enjoy on anything that you like mayo spread on.

SIMPLE BACON-CHEDDAR SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay bacon in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and cook until crisp, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Cool and rinse the pan.
• Line the baking sheet with foil. Trim the root ends of the scallions, halve lengthwise, and chop into about 1-inch pieces.
• Lay out the bread on a work surface and butter 1 side of each piece. Put 4 slices of the bread, buttered side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Layer half of the cheese slices on the bread. Layer the bacon and scallions on top of the cheese and cover with the remaining cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread buttered side up and bake until each bottom pieces of bread is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and bake until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 8 to 10 minutes more.

GRILLED APPLE, BACON AND CHEDDAR SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Red Onion Mayo.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• On a small rimmed baking sheet, toss the red onion, olive oil, salt and pepper together. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the onion is very soft, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and let cool. Transfer to a food processor and buzz until finely chopped. Add the mayo and pulse until smooth and combined.
• Sandwich.
• Preheat a seasoned grill pan or griddle over medium heat. Assemble this sandwich just as you would a traditional grilled cheese sandwich: spread 1 slice of bread with some Red Onion Mayo, then top with 2 slices Cheddar, the bacon, the apple slices, then 2 more slices of Cheddar, finishing with another mayo-slathered slice of bread. Butter the outsides of the bread and transfer to the hot grill. Grill about 3 minutes per side, since this sandwich is so thick. Remove to a cutting board and cut the sandwich in half on the diagonal to serve.
