Steps:
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Place 5 slices* of cheese in between two slices of bread (two on each side and one in the middle). Spread about 1 tablespoon butter on each exterior side of the bread. Remember, crust-to-crust is a must. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Place the first side in the pan (cooking in batches if necessary) and "dome" with an inverted large metal bowl or pan lid to create the proper vortex of heat. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until the cheese is gooey and bread is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Cut, slowly separate and watch as the cascade of gooey good ol' American cheese catches the sunlight streaming through the kitchen window and throws a glow of warm orange light throughout your entire house. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Serve with the Tomato Soup.
- *I know this sounds excessive, but it ensures the most possible ooey-gooeyness. If you're watching the intake, you can scale back to 3 slices.
- Heat a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the butter, onions, carrots, celery, chile flakes and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Sauté until translucent, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute. Deglaze with the sherry while scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves and stock. Simmer until everything is cooked through and very tender, about 1 hour.
- Discard the bay leaves and blend the soup until completely smooth and uniform in texture using an immersion blender. Add the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning. Serve!
TOMATO SOUP AND GRILLED CHEESE
Growing up in India, the Masala cheese toast was a regular staple breakfast dish. What set it apart was the only processed cheese available in India at that time (Amul cheese), which resembles a hard white Cheddar, paired with cilantro and roasted cumin for grilled cheese taken to the next level. The tomato soup is made with lentils, which adds to the creaminess of the soup; the curry leaves and Indian spices make it the perfect tomato soup to dunk the masala grilled cheese in.

Steps:
- For the tomato soup: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until hot. Add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, curry leaves and red chile and cook until it crackles, about 30 seconds. Add the onions, ginger-garlic paste and cilantro and cook until the onions are slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato puree, masoor dal, sambar powder, salt and pepper, to taste. Cover with water until all the fresh tomatoes are covered and let it cook on a low heat until the lentils are soft, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Carefully ladle the soup into a high-powered blender and blend until smooth, taking care when blending hot liquids. Pour into a medium-large saucepan and add the coconut milk and butter. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until just bubbling.
- For the cheese filling: Combine the cheese, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, garam masala and salt to taste in a medium bowl and reserve.
- For the sandwiches: Lay out the bread slices and top half of the slices with the cheese filling. Top with the other slices of bread and spread half the softened butter on the top piece of each sandwich.
- Preheat a double-burner cast-iron griddle pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches, butter-side down. Carefully spread the remaining butter on the top sides of the sandwiches and cook, turning once, until the bread is golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the sandwiches to paper towels. Cut each sandwich in half on the diagonal.
- Serve the tomato soup hot with the grilled cheese sandwiches on the side.

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.
