BACON CHEESE & TOMATO - BROILED OPEN FACE SANDWICH
One of my favorites. I have two rules for this sandwich. Always use Pepperidge Farm Original White Bread and make two per person as one is never enough.

Steps:
- Pre-heat broiler.
- Place bread on a broiler safe pan. Top each slice of bread with a slice of cheese then a slice of tomato. Depending on how big your tomato slice is you may want to put on two but keep it a single layer of tomato. Cut each slice of bacon into 2 pieces. Then lay 3 of the pieces on each sandwich. Broil until bacon is crisp and cheese melted. Bread and cheese may get a little burnt. That makes it better!
- Note: Originally I put raw bacon on the sandwich and cooked it all the way under the broiler. Now I cut the strips in half and partiality cook in micro-wave and then put on sandwich and broil to finish cooking.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the Monterey Jack, Cheddar, parsley, bacon and onion whites in a bowl and mix well.
- Cut the bread in strips in one direction, being careful not to cut all the way through the loaf. Rotate the bread 90 degrees and cut in the other direction to create small squares across the top of the loaf. Move slowly and use caution. Place the bread on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
- Stuff the cheese mixture in between the rows of squares. Mix the melted butter and ranch dressing, then drizzle over the top. Wrap the loaf in the foil and bake for 25 minutes. Open the foil and continue to bake until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly, another 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the onion greens and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Place 5 slices* of cheese in between two slices of bread (two on each side and one in the middle). Spread about 1 tablespoon butter on each exterior side of the bread. Remember, crust-to-crust is a must. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Place the first side in the pan (cooking in batches if necessary) and "dome" with an inverted large metal bowl or pan lid to create the proper vortex of heat. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until the cheese is gooey and bread is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Cut, slowly separate and watch as the cascade of gooey good ol' American cheese catches the sunlight streaming through the kitchen window and throws a glow of warm orange light throughout your entire house. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Serve with the Tomato Soup.
- *I know this sounds excessive, but it ensures the most possible ooey-gooeyness. If you're watching the intake, you can scale back to 3 slices.
- Heat a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the butter, onions, carrots, celery, chile flakes and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Sauté until translucent, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute. Deglaze with the sherry while scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves and stock. Simmer until everything is cooked through and very tender, about 1 hour.
- Discard the bay leaves and blend the soup until completely smooth and uniform in texture using an immersion blender. Add the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning. Serve!
CHEESY WHITE BEAN-TOMATO BAKE
For those of you who love lasagna's edges, where sticky tomato meets crisp cheese, this whole dish is for you - even the middle. A tube of tomato paste here mimics the deep flavors of sun-dried tomato. Frying a few generous squeezes caramelizes the tomato's sugars and saturates the olive oil, making a mixture that's ready to glom onto anything you stir through it. Here, it's white beans, though you could add in kale, noodles, even roasted vegetables. Then, all that's left to do is dot it with cheese and bake until it's as molten or singed as you like. Serve with bread and a bitter-green salad.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic until it's lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste (be careful of splattering) and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top, then bake until the cheese has melted and browned in spots, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as toasted as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for a minute or 2. Serve at once.
