Mouth Watering....
Garlic-Rubbed Grilled Cheese
with Bacon and Tomatoes.
Check out the recipe and source below.
Make you're own variation by using different cheeses or whatever you like... so yum ;-)
Recipe Source at the bottom.
3 oz (about 1 1/4 cups) grated Gruyère
3 oz (about 1 cup) grated fontina
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
8 1/2-inch-thick slices Italian bread
2 medium ripe tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 to 2 large cloves garlic, halved and peeled for rubbing
Cook the bacon in a heavy-bottomed skillet until browned and crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off the grease from the pan and wipe clean.
Combine the cheeses and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Lay 4 slices of the bread on your work surface, and distribute half of the cheese evenly among the bread. Top the cheese with 2 slices of bacon and then 2 or 3 slices of tomatoes (enough to cover the cheese and bacon). Evenly distribute the remaining cheese among the 4 sandwiches. Lightly butter one side of the remaining four slices of bread, and put them on top of the sandwiches, butter side up.

Not hungry, but had a Turkey and Bacon Panini...
It was yummy...
Now I wonder if our Southern friends know about our panini?
;-)
There goes my diet!
I'm one of the southern people, Arkansas to be exact, and I like a good panini. Granted, i'm probably about the only southerner you'll find that knows what one is.....
Damn! I am now.....
gonna try it
in a cast iron skillet
over an open fire
tonight
That sounds good Dusty, let me know how it turns out :-)
Well, we are in Texas some fifty miles east of Dallas, so we are sorta in the south and my Linda Lou loves her some panini.
Legend has it that the west begins in Fort Worth so, yeah, I claim the south.
I'd have to use other kinds of cheese, though. I've never even heard of one of those cheeses. Here in Resume Speed, Texas we have a lot more kinds of Salsa than cheeses.
