]]>What You’ll Need
This super simple recipe requires super simple ingredients! Equip your kitchen with fresh tomatoes, red bell peppers, garlic cloves, and white onions, as well as olive oil, salt, and pepper (if you’ve just started humming ״Push It,” that’s on you). For the grilled cheese, you’ll need two types of yellow cheese, some butter, and bread.
How You Make It
First, slice the aforementioned soup vegetables into large slices, as demonstrated in the video; and put them in the oven to soften and release some yummy juices. Then, throw them in a pot with some extra liquid (warm water or your go-to broth) and mix with a hand blender to get an even texture. Add cream for extra deliciousness, stir, and let it all chill (or rather, steam) in the pot together.
While your tomato soup is cooking, grate your yellow cheese of choice, spread some butter on the bread, pack it all up, and slide it in the toaster to melt. Once golden and crispy, slice it into smaller pieces and dip it in the soup for a taste bud blockbuster experience.

]]>Cheese Choice
The cheese you’re using will determine how healthy your grilled cheese is going to be. Using cheeses with sharp flavors, such as cheddar, parmesan, and hard goat cheese, can do you a lot of good because you’ll need less cheese than you would if you used mild varieties.
Bread Choice
The bread you’re using can make or break your grilled cheese because it’s the most crucial ingredient. White bread is best avoided and you should try to replace it with whole-grain varieties.
Ditch Butter
If you happen to be one of those people who make grilled cheese with butter, it’s time to stop. Your grilled cheese will be much healthier without it, while still keeping its rich and crispy texture.
Healthy Toppings
If you enjoy making grilled cheese with extra toppings, stick to the healthiest possible options, such as fruits and veggies.

]]>Butter
The first rule for an awesome grilled cheese sandwich: butter, butter, and more butter! Did we already say ‘butter?’ But seriously, once you try adding butter to your Grilled Cheese, you’ll never be able to go back from that creamy, oily texture. For perfect results, make sure to spread a good amount of butter on the inner part of both bread slices.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms are awesome. Other than being healthy and extremely low on calories, they just add that fleshy, meat-like texture to everything you put them in. Whether it’s champignon, portobello, or cremini—you can never put too many sliced mushrooms in your grilled cheese to give it that extra boost.
Walnuts
You probably weren’t expecting this one, but you’d be surprised how well walnuts go with a grilled cheese sandwich. All you need to do is chop them and spread them evenly on the bread, and they add extra crispiness to every bite.

]]>Add Fruit
Most people know that fruit and cheese are a great combination. But when it comes to grilled cheese it can really make a big difference. Fresh fruit and melted or creamy cheese will give you that perfect combo of sweet and salty plus warm and cold. Another great option is to spread jam on your bread before you add the cheese, which adds just the right amount of sweetness.
Chocolate
Yes, you read that right. This will speak to the sweet and salty craving, but beyond that, dark chocolate can also add a wonderful bitterness and even a crunch to a brighter, creamier cheese like brie.
Chips
If you prefer to highlight the “junk food” side of grilled cheese, try adding a snack of your choice. This could be potato chips, cheetos, fritos, whatever you like. If you add tortilla chips you’ll even have something of a nacho situation! That crunch and melty cheese is the ultimate snack.

1. Tomato Jam
It makes sense, doesn’t it? A classic pairing with a normal grilled cheese sandwich is tomato soup, so adding tomato jam to the sandwich itself is a great way to compliment the cheesiness with a tangy touch.
2. Avocado
The world’s trendiest food right now is a perfect pick to add some extra creaminess and richness to a regular grilled cheese, and it’ll give you a boost of healthy nutrients too.
3. French Toast
Whaaat?! That’s right, using french toast for your grilled cheese instead of normal bread is a great way to add a touch of sweetness and a unique touch to the sandwich. You get bonus points if you drizzle maple syrup on top, too.
4. Macaroni Noodles
Now you must think that I’m crazy. Don’t knock it until you try it, though. Using macaroni (and cheese) as the filling between the bread of the sandwich is insanely delicious.
5. Strawberries
Hear me out here: if you use a mild, soft cheese like brie as the cheese in your sandwich, the tart sweetness of strawberries turns the sandwich into an absolute wonder.

]]>Peggy Smith and Sue Conley, the co-owners of Cowgirl Creamery, sell creative variants of grilled cheese sandwiches at the Sidekick Cafe next to their San Francisco cheese shop. They recently published a recipe book, Cowgirl Creamery Cooks, which sells for $35. The book contains recipes for the following grilled cheese sandwich and several others. Are you drooling yet? Let’s get into the recipe with the ingredients first…
Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
- 5 tablespoons fromage blanc (French ‘white cheese’)
- 5 tablespoons sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated
- 5 tablespoons Monterey Jack, coarsely grated
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, chives, or parsley
- 4 slices (1/2-in.-thick) mild, crusty sourdough bread
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Remember that you aren’t feeding an army! You’re just making enough filling in this recipe for two sandwiches. You can scale this recipe up and use equal parts of three different cheeses in whatever amount you like if you are, in fact, feeding an army or a hoard of Girl Scouts.
After Grating Cheese, Mix Harder Ones Into Soft
The key to making a great grilled cheese sandwich, Smith says, is to use cheeses of contrasting textures in the filling—creamy with firm, or stretchier cheeses with harder ones. The technique is to grate the firmer cheeses into the softer one. Grating produces cheese pieces of consistent size, which improves how they melt and spreads their flavor evenly. Folding the firmer cheeses and the herbs into the softer cheese lets the firmer ingredients mix evenly into the creamier ones.
Use Less Filling With Softer Bread
Spread the cheese and herb mixture evenly over two slices of the bread. According to Conley, stale bread can be used because it is drier than fresh bread. The dryness will cause it to brown nicely. Toasting, too, improves the taste of stale bread. Conley cautions that you should use less filling if your bread is soft or fluffy, so the filling won’t press too heavily against the bread. Butter the outer sides of each slice all the way to the crust, so it will turn a nice, golden brown. Lay the second pair of slices on top of the ones covered in cheese filling.
Use Medium Heat For Best Results
According to Conley and Smith, the quickest way to ruin a perfectly good grilled cheese sandwich is to set the heat too high. You’re trying to melt the inside of your sandwich without burning the outside, so go lower and slower than you might think. Grill these sandwiches over medium heat in a cast-iron skillet or heavy nonstick pan—they’re better at spreading heat more evenly. Cook for five to seven minutes per side of the sandwiches, or until golden brown. Eat ’em while they’re hot!

]]>The post This Ramen Grilled Cheese Recipe Is What Noodle Dreams Are Made Of appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>But why stop at a bowl and chopsticks? This ramen noodle grilled cheese recipe combines two of your childhood (and adult) favorites into one cheesy, downright delicious meal. It’s simple, requires just a few ingredients, and you will quickly devour every single bite!
There’s something so comforting about a big bowl of ramen, and the grilled cheese is not far behind when it comes to culinary classics. Using noodles as bread? Say no more. Let’s get started.
Ingredients
1 package of ramen (no need for the seasoning)
1 egg
2 slices of bacon
3 cheese slices
Sriracha
Butter
Rectangular container with a flat bottom
Boil The Noodles To Perfection
Cook the ramen in a pot of boiling water for three minutes or until the noodles are tender. Strain the noodles. Beat one egg well and add it to the bowl of noodles. Make sure to mix the two together well. Next, be sure to have the rectangular container ready to go!
Pack The Ramen Into The Container
Grease the rectangular container and pour the noodles inside. Use a fork to pack the noodles down so they are about 1 1/2 inches thick. Place in the fridge for fifteen minutes and get ready to take care of your sandwich contents!
Time To Sizzle Some Bacon
Cook the two slices of bacon and have the two pieces of cheese ready on the side. Take the container of ramen out of the fridge and get ready to add it to the mix!
Fry The Ramen To Make Your Sandwich Ends
Add some butter to a frying pan and empty the ramen into the pan. Let the noodles cook until they are golden brown on one side, and once the ramen reaches a light brown color, cut it in half.
Flip the two ramen halves over and let the opposite sides cook. Drizzle some spicy sriracha over the noodles—the spicier the better! Add the slices of cheese and bacon on top. Let cook for seven to eight minutes, keeping the pan covered. This gives the cheese time to soak into the noodles! Can you say delicious?
Put On The Finishing Touches!
Once the cheese has melted and you are happy with the crispiness of the noodles, flip the two sides of ramen together to make a sandwich. Let each side of the grilled cheese brown longer if desired.
Don’t be afraid to add other ingredients—such as tomatoes, salt, and pepper—to make this ramen grilled cheese your own work of art. This is sure to be a household hit, especially among die-hard ramen fans. Enjoy!
