Outdoor Grilled Cheese Sandwich (Curtis Stone) image

I like some of Curtis Stone's recipes and this one I love! However, since nectarines aren't one of my favorite foods we subbed Apricot Chutney with the dish instead of Tangerine Chutney. To make things simpler - I will post it as was intended. My Apricot Chutney is very simple; apricot jam or preserves, rice vinegar, mustard seed & fresh minced ginger - put it in a pan bring to boil and conitnue stirring often until reduced to 2 cups & voila! Make the nectarine syrup first - then you can take care of the ciabatta! ;) It takes about 25 minutes to make.

  • Rub the cut sides of the ciabatta with the garlic clove.
  • Place the ciabatta oiled side down on the grill and cook until just barely golden brown rotating but not turning over to toast evenly about 3 minutes.
  • Remove the ciabatta from the grill and reduce the heat of one burner to low.
  • Spread the toasted side of the bottom ciabatta piece with the mustard.
  • Spoon the chutney over the other toasted side.
  • Scatter half of the Gruyere cheese evenly over the mustard.
  • Tear off pieces of the St Andre cheese and scatter it over the Gruyere.

This grilled cheese sandwich was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use less butter. However, the cheese was melted and gooey, and the bread was perfectly toasted. I also liked the addition of the ham and mustard. It gav

I love grilled cheese sandwiches, and this one was no exception. The combination of Gruyère and cheddar cheeses was perfect, and the mustard added a nice tang. I used sourdough bread, which gave the sandwich a nice crispy exterior. I will definitely

I'm not a huge fan of grilled cheese sandwiches, but this one was really good! The cheese was melted and gooey, and the bread was perfectly toasted. I also liked the addition of the ham and mustard. It gave the sandwich a nice savory flavor.
