Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- ½ cup Gryuere cheese
- ½ cup Gouda cheese
- ¼ cup goat cheese
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 8 slices of bread
Dipping Sauce
- 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
Dipping Sauce
Drain the canned diced tomatoes and set aside.
Heat a small sauce pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the sauce pan and cook for one minute.
Add the canned tomatoes and salt to the sauce pan. Mash the tomatoes with a masher or a wooden spoon.
Allow the sauce to cook down until the sandwiches go in the oven.
Add the heaving whipping cream and turn temperature to medium low. Stir occasionally.
When the sandwiches are done, remove the tomato dipping sauce from the heat and add to dipping bowl(s).
Baked grilled cheese
Grate all cheeses (except the goat cheese), mix them together and set aside.
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Butter one side of all slices of bread. Place one piece of bread with the buttered side down on the baking each for each sandwich.
Add about ½ cup of grated cheese to each sandwich (more if larger bread slices). For the goat cheese, crumble approximately 1 tablespoon on top of the grated cheese for each sandwich.
Top each sandwich with one slice of bread, buttered side up.
Bake for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip each sandwich over. Bake for an additional 4-6 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Cut the sandwiches in triangles, squares or strips. Serve with the dipping sauce.
