Garlicky Anaheim Pepper Grilled Cheese #SundaySupper

Hi Everyone,

Do you know what April is?  It is National Grilled Cheese Month!  The #SundaySupper gang and I have teamed up with Gallo Family Vineyards to share with you our favorite grilled cheese sandwiches.  I bet you know what I love to have on my grilled cheese, peppers!  My recipe contains roasted grilled Anaheim peppers, gooey American cheese and an artisan garlic bread.  This sandwich is so gourmet and so easy to make, I think I am in love!
The sandwich has savory flavors, and is slightly crispy edges and the garlic flavored bread gives it an extra boost of deliciousness. It compliments the peppers and the cheese beautifully! When I was buying my bread I was going to go with a french bread but when I saw garlic bread I thought, oh yeah, this will be nice. I was right! If you’re a fan of savory, not spicy pepper and garlic this is truly the sandwich for you.
Now I’ll be honest with you, I have been known to burn quite a few grilled cheese sandwiches in my time. The key when making a grilled cheese is patience. Don’t turn the heat up high because you will end up browning the bread before the cheese melts and we all want melted cheese in our sandwich. You simply must cook on a medium low heat. Another key thing is covering the pan when you put your sandwich in the skillet. The steam will make the cheese melt even better and the bread will be slightly soft, but yet still crispy. Oh yeah, I am so drooling thinking of it.
I paired my grilled cheese sandwiches with Gallo Family Vineyards Cafe Zinfandel, a nice light sweet wine with flavors of strawberry, raspberry and watermelon. It compliments my grilled cheese wonderfully. I was going for a sweet and savory combination.

A savory sandwich made with roasted Anaheim Peppers, gooey American cheese with garlic artisan bread.

Author: Jennifer Drummond

Recipe type: Sandwich

Cuisine: American

Serves: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

• 1 Anaheim Pepper
• 4 slices garlic flavored batard bread (about ½" slices)
• 4 oz. Cheddar Cheese, mild in flavor, divided
• 3 tbsp. butter, divided

Instructions

1. Place your pepper on a grill or over a gas burner. Cook until the skin is charred and soft, turning the pepper to cook evenly. Place the pepper in a ziplock bag, and seal for 30 minutes. The steam will make the skin come off. After 30 minutes, gently peel the skin on the peppers. I used a paper towel to get the excess skin off. Whatever you do, do not run the pepper under water. Cut the pepper in half and gently scrap the skin off. Than cut the pepper into strips.
2. Take 2 tablespoons of butter and place in a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter for about 20 seconds or so. Set aside.
3. In a medium skillet with a lid, set the burner to medium low heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Let the butter melt.
4. Meanwhile brush one side of the sliced bread with butter, place that side down onto the skillet. Top the bread with pepper slices and 2 ounces of cheese. Top the cheese with a slice of bread and butter the outer side of the bread. Do the same for the remaining ingredients. Place lid over skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Flip the sandwich and cook for another 2 minutes.
5. Take the sandwich out of the skillet and serve.

Notes

Instead of garlic batard bread you can always use a plain batard bread or a heavy sandwich bread. You want a bread that will hold the peppers without getting soggy.
