GRILLED TOMATO AND CHEESE



Grilled Tomato and Cheese image

Butter does more for a grilled cheese than just browning the bread. Using cultured butter, one made with fermented cream, can add depth and a touch of sweet and tangy richness, thereby elevating the sandwich to new heights.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large or 2 medium heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes
Kosher salt
Eight 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick slices Pullman bread
12 slices sharp Cheddar or American cheese
6 tablespoons cultured butter, softened

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the tomatoes and lay them on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and let sit to release any water, about 15 minutes. Pat dry.
  • Lay out 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with 2 slices of cheese, making sure that they cover to the edges. Follow with 2 slices of tomato and then 1 more slice of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread. Thinly and evenly spread the butter on both sides of the bread using about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter for each sandwich.
  • Place 2 sandwiches into a nonstick medium skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bread is evenly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip, cover again and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

THE ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE AND TOMATO SOUP BOWL RECIPE BY TASTY



The Ultimate Grilled Cheese And Tomato Soup Bowl Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, large yellow onion, garlic, crushed tomato, chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, pepper, white bread, butter, garlic, large egg, cheddar cheese, olive oil, dried oregano, pepper, salt

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Lunch

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
15 oz crushed tomato, 1 can
2 cups chicken broth
¼ cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
11 slices white bread
2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for greasing bowl
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg, beaten
7 slices cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Make the tomato soup: melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and stir for 6-8 minutes, until the onions just start to brown.
  • Add the garlic and stir for another minute. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the soup from heat and transfer to a blender. Remove vent so that steam can escape. Blend for 2 minutes, until the soup is smooth and thick. Alternatively, leave the soup in the pot and use an immersion blender.
  • Make the grilled cheese bowl: cut the crusts off the bread and set aside in a medium bowl.
  • Arrange the bread slices into 3 lines: a line of 5, a line of 4, and a line of 2.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic and use a brush to spread the mixture over each piece of bread.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Brush the bottom of each slice in egg wash and then dab the bottom of each piece of bread in the line of 5 and the line of 4. Dab all four sides of the bread in the group of 2. Overlap the edges of the 5 pieces of bread, then press the edges together to adhere. Repeat with the line of 4.
  • In a greased medium oven-safe bowl, place one of the single slices of bread. Then, take the line of 5 slices and make it into a circle on the inside of the bowl. Press down the edges to adhere to the piece of bread at the bottom of the bowl.
  • Cover the bread with 6 slices of cheese. Lay the remaining single slice of bread over the cheese, then make a circle with the line of 4 slices of bread, pressing to seal the edges and adhere to the bread below. Lay the remaining slice of cheese on the bottom.
  • Using a small bowl, press down on the bread bowl to compress slightly.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, until the bread is golden brown.
  • Make the crouton fries: Add the olive oil, oregano, pepper, and salt to the bowl with the crusts. Toss until thoroughly coated. Transfer the crusts to a large baking sheet.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, until the crusts are golden brown.
  • Remove the bowl and crouton fries from oven. Use tongs to move the bread bowl from the bowl to a serving dish. Fill with tomato soup.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes. Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes are all good choices.
  • Don't overcrowd the flatbreads. If you add too many toppings, the flatbreads will be soggy. Stick to a few simple ingredients so that the flavors can shine through.
  • Don't overcook the flatbreads. The flatbreads should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy, but not burnt. Keep an eye on them so that you don't overcook them.
  • Serve the flatbreads immediately. Grilled cheese tomato flatbreads are best served hot out of the oven. They can be garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Grilled cheese tomato flatbreads are a quick and easy meal that are perfect for any occasion. They can be made with a variety of toppings, so you can customize them to your liking. And because they are made with simple ingredients, they are also a budget-friendly option.
