Time 1h

Yield 4 servings (1 1/2 sandwiches per person)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons canola oil
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 large onions, sliced
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
12 slices rustic Italian bread (each about 1/2-inch thick)

  • Heat the canola oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large saute pan over medium heat.

  • Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until the cheese begins to melt and the bread is golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted through, 2 to 4 minutes. Cut in half and serve immediately.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced (sweet)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 plum tomatoes, halved and seeded or 2 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and patted dry
1 tablespoon canola oil (if roasting tomato)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
6 slices good quality white bread, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices (Pullman loaf)
1 1/2 cups grated gouda cheese
8 slices prosciutto, sliced about 1/8-inch thick
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature or 8 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For Caramelized Onions:.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For Roasted Tomato Mayonnaise:.
  • Easiest to use sun dried tomatoes, but if you don't have it, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the fresh tomato in a small dish or baking sheet, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the tomato is very soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Put the mayonnaise, vinegar, sun dried tomato or roasted tomato, garlic and thyme in a food processor and process until smooth, season with salt and pepper. Scrape into a bowl.
  • For Sandwich:.
  • Place 4 slices of the bread on a flat surface, divide half of the cheese among the slices. Top the cheese with 2 slices of prosciutto then top the prosciutto with some of the caramelized onions and the remaining cheese.
  • Place the 4 remaining slices of bread on top to make four sandwiches. Butter the top of the bread using half of the butter.
  • Preheat a cast iron pan or cast iron griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan, butter-side down (may need to do in batches) and cook until lightly golden brown.
  • Spread the remaining butter on the bread facing up, then flip and continue cooking until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  • Serve with dollop of roasted tomato mayonnaise on the top and on the side if you prefer.

GRILLED HAM AND GOUDA SANDWICH WITH LEFTOVER EASTER VEGGIES



Grilled Ham and Gouda Sandwich with Leftover Easter Veggies image

Whether celebrating a holiday or just another Saturday night, a meal with my chef father-in-law always means leftovers. I love it, don't get me wrong! It's just a matter of coming up with ways to use them all. The beautiful thing about his Easter meal is that everything is so simply prepared. A beautiful roasted ham (locally sourced from a Maryland farm just down the street from their house), lightly dressed green vegetables and a crisp white wine; it's a blissful welcome to spring. Making great use of what was already in-house, I whipped up an amazing dinner that really captured the bright flavors of the previous night's meal. I dressed up a vegetable medley with simple lemon-dill vinaigrette while my favorite sandwich secret weapon - red pepper jelly - worked its magic on a grilled ham and Gouda sandwich.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 thick slices good-quality bread
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 tablespoons red pepper jelly
10 to 12 slices leftover roast ham (about 1 pound total)
1/2 pound Gouda, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon fruit preserves, such as apricot or peach
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and ground black pepper
4 cups roughly chopped (as needed) prepared green vegetables, such as asparagus, zucchini or peas

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet or griddle pan over low heat. Lay out the slices of bread on a work surface and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over each one. Flip each slice over and spread a thin layer of red pepper jelly over each one. Build the sandwiches by dividing the ham and Gouda among four of the slices and closing them so that the mayonnaise is on the outside.
  • Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook, turning once, until golden brown and heated through.
  • While the sandwiches are toasting, in a large bowl whisk together the lemon juice, preserves, dill, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Toss the green vegetables with the dressing and reserve. Cut the sandwiches on a bias and serve warm along with the vegetable salad.

CARAMELIZED ONION GRILLED CHEESE



Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese image

How to elevate the classic grilled cheese? How about filling thick slices of brioche with three cheeses, fresh herbs, a splash of prosecco and a spoonful of Dijon mustard? Add a jammy onion spread inspired by the flavors of French onion soup and you've got one unbeatable sandwich!

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1/4 cup diced Robiola cheese
1 tablespoon prosecco
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Four 1-inch-thick slices brioche

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sprinkle with the thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned and tender, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of the Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon water to coat the onions. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat a griddle over medium heat.
  • Buzz the Cheddar, Gruyere, Robiola, prosecco, parsley, garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard in a food processor until combined but still chunky and spreadable. Evenly spread the cheese mixture over one side of each slice of bread. Top 2 slices with the onion mixture and then sandwich the onions with the other 2 slices, cheese-side in. Spread the remaining butter on the outside of each sandwich and season with salt and pepper. Griddle the sandwiches over medium heat until golden brown on the first side, about 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until the cheese is melted and the exteriors are crispy, about 5 minutes more.

FRENCH ONION GRILLED CHEESE



French Onion Grilled Cheese image

Grilled cheese is a near-perfect food on its own, but adding bacon, kimchi or, in this case, heaps of caramelized onions really makes it special. Caramelizing onions takes a good half-hour, so save this recipe for when you have a little extra time and company (this recipe serves two). If time permits, you could even prep them ahead in a slow cooker. Rather than layer the grated Gruyère and the warm caramelized onions in the sandwich, you should stir them together before assembling, which guarantees that the cheese will melt evenly throughout and that each bite will contain the perfect ratio of fragrant cheese to jammy onions. A splash of sherry, red-wine or white-wine vinegar added to the onions balances out the buttery flavors, but a side salad dressed with a tangy mustard vinaigrette would do the trick, too.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, sandwiches

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound yellow or Vidalia onions, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 teaspoons sherry, red-wine or white-wine vinegar (optional)
4 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
4 slices bread, cut no wider than 1/2-inch thick

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the onions are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. If the onions look dry or like they might burn, add a few tablespoons of water at a time, scraping up any browned bits that are stuck to the bottom of the skillet. If desired, once the onions are done, deglaze the skillet with vinegar and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Transfer the onions to a medium bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Wipe out the skillet, or wash it, if necessary.
  • Add the cheese to the onions and stir to combine. Put down two slices of bread, and scoop half of the cheese-onion mixture onto each one. Top with the remaining slices of bread, and press down gently.
  • In the skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until the bottoms turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, reducing the heat to prevent toast from darkening too quickly, if needed. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, flip the sandwiches, press down and cook until the cheese has fully melted and the bottoms turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
