Great recipe Lori!

Made the Grilled 3 Cheese Sandwichs with Bacon and Tomato a week ago for weekend guests. They was fantastic!

Grilled Cheese and Chile-Marinated Onion Sandwich

This is an adult take on that childhood favorite–grilled cheese sandwiches served with a bowl of canned tomato soup. In the summer I like to “really grill” these on our backyard grill rather than using a cast iron skillet indoors. Or, if you have a pannini grill by all means use it. And instead of bland tomato soup, serve these sandwiches with a cool and spicy gazpacho.

Chile Marinated Onions:
1 medium red onion, sliced in 1/8-inch slices
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 allspice berries, coarsely ground
1/4 teaspoon ground habanero chile

Sandwiches:
8 slices whole wheat or rye bread
1/4 cup whole grain Dijon-style mustard
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
Olive oil
In a medium non-reactive bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, allspice and chile together. Add the onions and toss to coat. Marinate the mixture for 30 to 45 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally. Drain the onions before using.

To assemble the sandwiches, spread the mustard over on side of each slice of bread. Top half of the slices with a thin layer of cheese, tomato slices, the onions, and finish with the remaining cheese. Top with the remaining slice of bread and secure the sandwiches with toothpicks. Brush both sides of the sandwiches with olive oil.

Heat a gas grill to medium. Place the sandwiches on the grill and close the lid. Cook, turning to prevent the bread from scorching for about 8 minutes or until the sandwiches are browned on both sides and the cheese has melted.

Cut each sandwich in half on the diagonal and serve.

Yield: 4 sandwiches
Heat Scale: Hot

Grilled 3 Cheese sandwiches with bacon and tomato. I do one very similar to this recipe. I cook about four to five slices of crisp bacon per sandwich - I use colby cheese, slicing enough from the brick for each sandwich. I then butter both sides of the sandwich. Instead of grilling it - I put it in the broiler to toast the bread and melt the cheese. Then I add the tomato. This has always been one of my favorite sandwiches.
