Grilled Cheese With Bacon And Maple Mustard Recipes

Steps:

• Put the honey, chipotle pepper, 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise and some salt and pepper in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.
• Heat a large heavy skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Place the bread on a work surface and spread the remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise on both sides of each slice. On the inside of 2 slices, spread on the chipotle mayonnaise to your liking, adding more if you prefer it spicy. Top each sandwich with 2 slices cheese, 2 slices bacon and a remaining bread slice.
• Cook the sandwiches until the cheese is completely melted and the bread is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. You can use a metal mixing bowl to dome the sandwiches and allow the cheese to melt faster. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately with sweet pickles and potato chips.

Steps:

• Spread dijon mustard on 4 slices country white bread. Top with sliced cheddar cheese, cooked bacon and sliced Granny Smith apple, then top with 4 more slices bread. Butter the sandwiches, then cook in a skillet over medium-low heat until the cheese melts and the bread is golden, about 3 minutes per side.
• Serve with Roasted Tomato Soup, recipe follows.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Core and halve the tomatoes (leave the cherry tomatoes whole). Heat a flameproof roasting pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle with the 1/2 cup olive oil, then spread all of the tomatoes, the garlic and onions in the pan. Cook, stirring gently, until the garlic is browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the tomatoes are caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the roasted tomatoes, garlic and onions from the oven and transfer to a large stockpot (set aside the cherry tomatoes for garnish). Add 3 cups chicken stock, the bay leaves and butter. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid is reduced by one-third, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
• Add the basil to the pot. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or puree in a regular blender and return to the pot). Reduce the heat to low, add the heavy cream and adjust the consistency with the remaining 1 cup chicken stock, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with the roasted cherry tomatoes; drizzle with olive oil.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, and set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread butter onto one side of each slice of bread. Lay 4 slices of bread, butter side down, in the skillet. Top with a slice of cheese, 2 slices tomato, bacon, and another slice of cheese. Cover with a slice of bread, butter side out. Fry sandwiches until golden on both sides.

Steps:

• Combine mustard, maple syrup, and vinegar in a small bowl, stirring well; set aside.
• Coat chicken lightly with cooking spray; sprinkle with pepper and salt.
• Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place on grill over medium-hot coals (350-400 degrees).
• Place chicken on rack; grill, uncovered, 15 minutes, basting often with mustard mixture.
• Turn chicken, and grill 15 additional minutes or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 180 degrees, basting often with mustard mixture.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread butter over one side of each slice of bread.
• Arrange bread, butter side down, on a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper. Spread each slice of bread with mustard. Arrange cheese over 4 slices of bread, and sandwich together with remaining bread, butter side out.
• Set a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches in batches in skillet. Using a spatula, press down firmly on sandwiches. Cook until bread is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low. Turn sandwiches over, press down with spatula, and cook until bread is golden and cheese is starting to melt, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet, and place in oven. Bake until cheese is completely melted. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Place bacon on a slotted broiler pan and bake to crisp.
• Brush 1 side of each slice of bread liberally with melted butter.
• Stir together Dijon mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl.
• Assemble sandwiches: bread, buttered side out, maple mustard, cheddar, bacon, Gruyère, bread with mustard on inside, buttered side out.
• Grill sandwiches on a nonstick griddle over medium heat until cheese melts and they're deeply golden.
