Grilled Cheese-and-Tomato Casserole image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
12 slices white bread
12 slices Cheddar (about 12 ounces)
6 slices Swiss cheese (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
4 cups mixed cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 large eggs
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Brush a 9-by-13-inch flameproof baking dish with some of the melted butter.
  • Lay 6 of the bread slices out on a baking sheet in 1 even layer. Brush the tops generously with butter. Broil, rotating the baking sheet as needed, until the bread is golden brown and toasted, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip the slices (untoasted side facing up). Put 2 slices of the Cheddar each on 3 pieces of the bread and 1 slice of the Swiss cheese each on the 3 remaining slices. Return the baking sheet to the broiler until the cheese completely melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Sandwich together each Swiss-topped bread slice with a Cheddar-topped slice. Repeat with the remaining bread, Cheddar and Swiss and more butter.
  • Trim the crusts off the sandwiches, then arrange the sandwiches in 1 layer in the prepared baking dish. Scatter the Parmesan over the top.
  • Scatter the tomatoes on the baking sheet, and toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Broil until they are very soft and the skins are wrinkled and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Scatter the tomatoes over the sandwiches.
  • Switch the broiler to bake, and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the half-and-half, mayonnaise, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. Pour over the tomatoes and sandwiches (the liquid won't completely cover). Cover with foil, and bake until the custard is mostly set, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue to bake until the casserole is hot and golden brown in spots, about 15 minutes more. Scatter the parsley on top, and serve hot.

TOMATO SOUP WITH GRILLED CHEESE



Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons oil (I'm using olive)
1 medium onion (I'm using yellow), sliced or chopped
Salt
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
One 28-ounce can tomato product (I'm using chopped tomatoes)
1 1/2 cups liquid, such as water, vegetable stock or chicken stock (I'm using chicken stock)
3/4 cup cream or milk, optional
2 tablespoons hot sauce, optional
1 tablespoon oregano, optional
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or melted butter
8 slices bread (I'm using white)
6 ounces grated hard cheese (I'm using Parmesan)
16 slices cheese (I'm using Cheddar)
2 tablespoons mustard, optional (I'm using coarse grain)

Steps:

  • For the tomato soup: Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the onion and a large pinch of salt and cook until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Mix in the tomatoes and chicken stock. Add the cream, hot sauce and oregano if using and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened and the flavors come together, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt if needed. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
  • For the grilled cheese: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Spread the mayonnaise or melted butter on one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the mayonnaise or butter. Flip the slices and put 4 pieces of Cheddar on 4 of the bread slices. Spread the other bread slices with mustard, if using, and close the slices together to form sandwiches (the mayonnaise and Parmesan should be on the outside).
  • Working in batches if necessary, transfer the sandwiches to the skillet and cook until browned and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Slice and serve with the tomato soup.

GOOD OLD-FASHIONED AMERICAN GRILLED CHEESE AND TOMATO SOUP



Good Old-Fashioned American Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

20 slices deli-sliced American cheese (yellow or white)
8 slices good, thick country white bread
8 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
Tomato Soup, recipe follows, for serving
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, minced
2 carrots, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons dry sherry
Two 28-ounce cans whole San Marzano tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup heavy cream

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!

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!
