Grilled cheese- panini style

Grilled cheese sandwich served with a bowl of tomato soup on a kitchen counter.

On a cold day when a little comfort is required there is nothing like a grilled cheese with tomato soup. Now there’s no right or wrong way to make grilled cheese, this is simply how I do it when I’m feeling fancy and want to use my over-priced indoor grill. If you were more frugal than me while in the store, an old fashioned frying pan will suffice.

  • A good bread (I prefer ciabatta)
  • Gruyere, sharp cheddar, or mozzarella cheese
  • Olive Oil
  • Panini press, George Forman grill or skillet.
  • Spatula
  • Slice loaf in half.
  • Line inside with cheese
  • Brush outside with olive oil (or butter)
  • Toast on high heat in Pannini press or grill on both sides in a well greased skillet.
  • When outside is toasted and cheese is melted, remove from heat, cut into finger sized portions and serve.
  • Dunk into tomato soup for maximum enjoyment.
  • Do you know the difference between a panini press and a George Foreman grill? About $50.
