Everyone has heard of Green Eggs and Ham, but how about Green Grilled Cheese? This, my friends, is brilliant. This recipe makes 4 sandwiches but leaves a TON of left over cheese/butter mixture. Just wrap in parchment and freeze and you can use it anytime. Or,and this would be amazing, toss with hot pasta and diced tomatoes for a quick and delish dinner.
And don't forget people, there is a huge amount of spinach hidden in this great sandwich, perfect for kids and veggie avoiding husbands!
Green Grilled Cheese with Pancetta and Tomato
(inspired from 'Weeknights with Giada"
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
2 cups shredded White Chedder Cheese
4 tbsp butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cello pack (3 cups or so) fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1 tbsp canola oil
5 tbsp warm water
3 eight-inch sliced of pancetta, diced and crisped up
2 roma tomatoes, sliced
8 slices bread
1. Mix together first 7 ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
2. Spread a few generous tablespoons of the mixture on both sides of the bread for each sandwich. Top with crisp pancetta and 4 slices of tomato. Put the sides together and grill in a panini press or a hot pan until browned on the outside and warmed through.
3. Let rest for a minute or two then slice and enjoy the oozy deliciousness.
