INSIDE-OUT GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH



Inside-Out Grilled Cheese Sandwich image

In my humble opinion, this crispy, crunchy, cheesy masterpiece is the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich. Make sure you follow some basic rules for this to work properly. Only use airy, nutritionally insignificant white bread. Use a nice sharp cheddar and be sure to use a quality non-stick pan over medium to medium-low heat.

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the caramelized onions:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large yellow onions, halved and very thinly sliced
3 thyme sprigs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the fig chutney:
1 1/2 cups chopped dried black mission figs
2 (3-inch) strips orange zest
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
3 thyme sprigs
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the sandwich:
8 ounces Halloumi cheese, sliced lengthwise into 4 (3/8-inch-thick) slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup baby arugula

Steps:

  • Make the caramelized onions:
  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add 3 thyme sprigs, and continue to cook and stir until onions are completely soft and light brown in color, 30 to 40 minutes more. Remove from heat and discard thyme sprigs. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Make the fig chutney:
  • In a medium pot over medium heat, cook the figs, orange zest and juice, vinegar, honey, 3 thyme sprigs, and 1/2 cup water. Stir occasionally until thickened and starting to break down, 12 to 15 minutes. Add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary to achieve a jammy consistency. Discard the orange zest and thyme sprigs, stir in the hazelnuts, and cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Assemble the sandwich:
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Brush the slices of Halloumi on one side with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the oiled side on the grill and cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Place one slice Halloumi, grilled side down, on a plate and layer 1/4 cup arugula, 2 tablespoons caramelized onions, and 2 tablespoons fig chutney on top. Top with another slice of Halloumi, grilled side up, to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining Halloumi to make a second sandwich.
  • The leftover caramelized onions and fig chutney can be refrigerated for up to a week.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Bread: Opt for a sturdy bread that can withstand the grilling process without getting soggy. Sourdough, French, or hearty whole grain breads are all great options.
  • Generous Butter: Don't be shy with the butter! It's what's going to give your grilled cheese that golden-brown, crispy exterior.
  • Quality Cheese: Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, mozzarella, and gruyère are all classic choices. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese to find your perfect combination.
  • Add-Ins: Get creative with your fillings! Ham, bacon, sliced tomatoes, caramelized onions, and avocado are all great options. Just be sure not to overload the sandwich, or it will be difficult to grill.
  • Grilled to Perfection: Cook your grilled cheese over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a soggy sandwich.

Conclusion:

The inside-out grilled cheese is a fun and delicious twist on a classic comfort food. With its crispy bread, melted cheese, and endless filling possibilities, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
