Escalivada Grilled Cheese Recipe - Receta de Queso a la Plancha con Escalivada

  • 1/2 cup José Andrés Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 tbsp José Andrés Tomate Frito Sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped José Andrés Escalivada
  • 8 slices bread
  • 6 oz Manchego cheese

STEP 1

Lay the slices of bread out on a clean work surface and brush 1 side of each with the olive oil. Turn the slices over and spread 1 tablespoon of Tomate Frito onto 4 of the slices, followed by layers of Manchego cheese and the Escalivada. Top with the corresponding slices of bread, olive oil-brushed sides facing up.

 

STEP 2

Heat a large sauté pan or griddle to medium-high. Add the sandwiches and cook on one side until golden brown and the cheese is slightly melted, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwiches over and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about 3 minutes.

 

Alternatively, place the layered sandwich in a Panini-press and cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove the sandwiches from the heat and slice in half to serve.
