Uncle Bills Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipes

ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly butter 1 side of each bread slice. Place 2 bread slices, buttered side down, on work surface. Top each with 2 prosciutto slices, then 4 basil leaves, then 4 cheese slices. Sprinkle with salt and crushed red pepper. Top with remaining 2 bread slices, buttered side up. Heat olive oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add sandwiches to skillet and cook until golden on bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn sandwiches over; transfer skillet to oven and bake until golden and cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Carefully lift off top bread slices from sandwiches and insert 3 tomato slices into each, then cover with bread tops and serve.

ELVIS' GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Spread peanut butter on a slice of white bread, and cover with cheese slice and bacon. Top with the other piece of bread. Spread butter on both sides of the sandwich, and pan-fry in a skillet over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve hot.

THE ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle or nonstick skillet to medium-low. Spread 2 teaspoons of the butter on one side of a bread slice. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread. Place one of the slices butter-side down and shingle the cheese on top, covering the entire surface. Top with the other slice of bread, butter-side up.
• Place the sandwich on the griddle and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. If the bread is browning too quickly, shift the griddle off the heat. Flip the sandwich, then cover with a small metal bowl and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Once golden brown on both sides, toast the edges of the sandwich, if desired. Transfer to a cutting board, cut in half on the bias and serve immediately.

UNCLE BILL'S CRISPY WRAP SANDWICH

Steps:

• Crispy wraps are purchased already washed and ready to use.
• In a large bowl, add spinach, chicken, carrot, cauliflower, sweet red pepper, onion, celery, chick peas, black olives, tomato, salt and black pepper; toss to mix well.
• In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and cider vinegar.
• Pour dressing over the filling mixture and toss lightly to coat well.
• Divide mixture evenly into 4 equal amounts.
• Spoon into four crispy wraps.
• Sprinkle grated cheese over each crispy wrap.
• You may pick up the open sandwich wrap and eat it or cut into pieces if this suits you best.
• NOTE: You can also use red kidney beans instead of chick peas.
• You can also use canned solid tuna preserved in water instead of chicken.
• You may also make a dressing using 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
• Adjust the amount of dressing you use to suit your taste.
• SECOND NOTE:.
• CRISPY WRAPS are the newest grown lettuce, a cross between Romaine Lettuce and Iceberg lettuce. You can use Romaine Hearts if you are not able to get CRISPY WRAPS as they are sold by that name.
• If using Romaine Hearts, just break or cut off the heavy stem and use only the tender leaves as the wrap. These tender leaves are boat shaped and that is where you place the filling.

THE GODFATHER OF GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese w/the blue cheese & mix well to a smooth consistency.
• Add crisped bacon pieces & diced tomato to the cheese mixture & mix just well enough to achieve a good distribution.
• Put 8 slices sandwich bread on your cutting board or counter. Using a pastry brush, brush approx 1/2 tbsp of the Italian salad dressing on ea slice of bread.
• Turn over 4 slices of the bread & spread 3 oz of the cheese mixture on those 4 slices (You should have 12 oz of cheese mixture for this).
• Top ea of those slices w/the other 4 slices so all the exposed bread surfaces are the ones spread w/the Italian salad dressing.
• Grill your sandwiches & enjoy!
