••••BRIE, BACON AND APRICOT GRILLED 
••••CHEESE!!

  • Bacon, Brie, and Apricot Grilled Cheese with Balsamic Reduction

  • A few slices of bacon
  • Sandwich bread (sourdough would be awesome, but I used this gluten free bread)
  • Apricot preserves (or jam)  
  • Brie cheese
  • Butter  
  • About 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • Fresh Basil 
  • Cook the bacon and remove from pan. Cool on paper towel.
  • Spread apricot preserves on bot slices of bread. Add slices of brie and the cooked bacon and sandwich together. Liberally butter both sides of the sandwich on the outside and cook, covered, over medium heat, flipping halfway through until the bread is browned and the cheese is melted (if the cheese still isn't melted all the way, sometimes I just take the sandwich apart and put the cheese directly on the pan for a few seconds).
  • Meanwhile, put the balsamic vinegar in a small, microwavable cup or bowl in the microwave. Stir every minute until it starts to boil. Then stir ever 20 seconds until syrupy (you can also do this on the stove).
  • Drizzle the finished grilled cheese with the balsamic reduction and garnish with basil if desired. Enjoy.

    ••••GRILLED CHEESE AND TOMATO SOUP
    ••••CASSEROLE!!

    MAKES 4 TO 6 SERVINGS 
    START TO FINISH: 1 HOUR 15 MINUTES

    INGREDIENTS

    GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

    16 slices sourdough bread

    8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, at room temperature

    One 5.2-ounce container of Boursin cheese (or other soft, spreadable cheese)

    8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 8 thick piecesTOMATO SOUP



    One 14-ounce can tomato sauce

    ⅓ cup tomato paste

    ½ cup heavy cream

    1 teaspoon dried thyme

    2 eggs

    Salt and freshly ground black pepper

    TO FINISH

    ½ cup shredded white cheddar cheese


    DIRECTIONS

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

    2. MAKE THE SANDWICHES:  Butter one side of each slice of bread with ½ tablespoon soft butter. Flips the slices over and spread 1 tablespoon Boursin on 8 pieces of the bread. Place 1 slice of mozzarella on top of the Boursin and then finish with one more piece of bread, butter side up, to close the sandwiches.

    3. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, place the sandwiches on the hot griddle and cook until both sides are toasted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set the sandwiches aside.4. MAKE THE SOUP: In a medium pot, whisk the tomato sauce with the tomato paste until smooth. Heat over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer. Stir in the cream and thyme.



    5. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Pour about a third of the hot tomato mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to combine.

    6. Return the mixture to the pot and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

    7. MAKE THE CASSEROLE: Pour half of the tomato mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Arrange the sandwiches inside the dish and then pour the remaining tomato mixture on top.

    8. Sprinkle the cheddar evenly over the casserole. Bake until the tomato mixture is bubbly and the cheese is melted, 25 to 30 minutes.

    9. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.

    Serves: 4 sandwiches
    Ingredients
    • 2 cups each of diced zucchini, eggplant, and onion
    • 3 cups cherry tomatoes
    • ¼ cup olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 5 sun-dried tomatoes, minced
    • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
    • 2 teaspoons dried Italian herb seasoning

    • 8 slices Italian bread
    • 1⅓ cup grated Gruyรจre cheese (or whatever you have on hand)
    Instructions
    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, eggplant, onion, and cherry tomatoes with ¼ cup olive oil, minced garlic, minced sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, dried herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Use your hands to mix everything together until very well combined. Line a sheet pan with non-stick foil or parchment paper. Spread the vegetables evenly on the pan.

Butter each slice of bread on both sides. In a large skillet, lightly brown each slice on one side. Flip the bread and spoon some of the ratatouille cream cheese mixture on four of the bread slices. Spread a couple teaspoons of the fresh herb mixture on the other four slices.
    3. Top the ratatouille halves with ⅓ cup grated cheese and cover with the herbed bread. Press lightly and grill both sides until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
