Description
A delightful twist on classic grilled cheese, these Mini Grilled Cheese Dippers are perfect for dipping in creamy tomato soup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slices of Sturdy White or Sourdough Bread
- 12 slices of Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 4 slices of Provolone or Monterey Jack Cheese
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) of Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 quart of Creamy Tomato Soup, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Lay out all 12 slices of bread on a large cutting board or clean work surface. Using a butter knife or spatula, generously spread the softened butter on one side of each slice.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Flip over 6 of the buttered bread slices so the unbuttered side is facing up. On each of these slices, place two slices of sharp cheddar cheese and a slice of provolone or Monterey Jack.
- Top the Sandwiches: Place the remaining 6 slices of bread on top of the cheese-layered slices, with the buttered side facing out.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and place 2 or 3 sandwiches in the skillet.
- Cook to Golden Perfection: Grill the sandwiches for 3-5 minutes on the first side until golden brown.
- Flip and Finish: Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Rest and Slice: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute or two.
- Create the Dippers: Trim the crusts off each sandwich and slice vertically into 3 or 4 equal-sized dippers.
- Serve Immediately: Arrange the dippers on a platter with warm tomato soup for dipping.
Notes
Serve with zesty pickles or a side salad for a delightful meal.
