Spring Onion Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipes

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lower heat to medium. Add onions and saute, stirring, until edges are browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
• Place 3/4-ounce Cheddar on 1 slice bread. Spread 1 tablespoon caramelized onions on top of cheese and top with 3/4-ounce pepper Jack. Top with 1 large or 2 medium slices tomato and other slice of bread. Repeat with 3 other sandwiches.
• Spray a nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat until hot. Place sandwich on griddle and weigh down with a heavy skillet or plate. Lower heat to medium-low and grill until underside is a deep brown but not burnt and cheese is partially melted, about 5 to 6 minutes. Flip sandwich and grill other side, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Slice in half and serve hot.

SPRING ONION GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each piece of bread. Be sure to spread all the way to the edges.
• On each piece of bread add 1 slice provolone and 1 slice cheddar cheese. You can use other cheeses but provolone or mozzarella has a juicy texture when it melts.
• Sprinkle your finely chopped Spring Onion and Cilantro on each piece of bread over the cheese.
• Toast lightly in your toaster oven until the cheese begins to melt.
• Remove both pieces of bread from your toaster oven. Add 1 slice of cheddar cheese on top of either slice, then place the other piece of bread, onion side down, on top of the first piece.
• Toast for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted. Slice your sandwich diagonally, and serve with a pickle and a handful of your favorite chips.

ONION AND BACON CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until almost cooked. Add onion. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender. Remove bacon and onion from skillet. Reserve 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet.
• To make each sandwich, layer cheese, bacon and onion between 2 bread slices. Place 2 sandwiches in drippings in skillet. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until bread is crisp and golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
