Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
18 slices white or whole-wheat bread
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar (about 5 ounces)
1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella (about 5 ounces)
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
Freshly ground black pepper
Two 10.75-ounce cans condensed tomato soup
1 cup whole milk
5 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Butter both sides of each piece of bread with the softened butter and arrange on 2 baking sheets. Bake, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and toasted, about 15 minutes.
  • Line the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with 6 slices of toasted bread and toss together the Cheddar and mozzarella in a bowl. Sprinkle the toast evenly with about 1 cup of the cheese mixture and a third of the scallions, then sprinkle with a few grinds of the pepper. Repeat this process with another layer of 6 slices of toast, 1 cup of cheese, a third of the scallions and black pepper. Add the final pieces of toast on top.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the tomato soup, milk and eggs until smooth and well-combined. Pour the tomato soup mixture over the casserole evenly so all of the toast is coated and covered. Finish off the top with the remaining cheese and scallions.
  • Bake the lasagna until the sides are bubbling and the top is browned in spots, about 35 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 hot Italian sausages or 2 sweet Italian sausages
1 pint cherry tomatoes
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
4 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 garlic cloves, minced
8 thick slices sourdough bread
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup store-bought marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Set a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once hot, add the sausage remove from the casing. Being breaking it down with a wooden spoon and cook until browned.
  • Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon. Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining oil and the cherry tomatoes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the tomatoes have softened and are starting to burst, about 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, stir to combine the ricotta, basil, lemon, Parmesan and the remaining salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. In another medium bowl, stir butter and garlic until well combined.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, lay out 4 bread slices in a single layer. Brush the bread with 3 tablespoons of the softened garlic butter, then turn the bread over. Top with 1/4 cup mozzarella, then spread over the ricotta. Top with the Italian sausage, tomatoes and another 1/4 cup mozzarella. Top each with a slice of bread and brush with remaining butter.
  • Heat a skillet or griddle over moderate heat. Working in batches, cook sandwiches until bread is golden and crisp and cheese has melted, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cook the remaining sandwiches. Cut each in half and serve with marinara on the side for dipping.

Tips:

  • For a crispy grilled cheese sandwich, use a thick, sturdy bread like sourdough or Italian bread.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the outside of the bread to help it brown and crisp.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or gruyère.
  • Add other ingredients to your sandwich, such as cooked bacon, roasted vegetables, or fresh herbs.
  • Grill the sandwich over medium heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
