We invited 30 friends to share their favorite grilled cheese recipes. Yum!
“The distinct, salty Ibérico ham pairs nicely with the mellow Tillamook Colby Jack Cheese and the sweet roasted red peppers. But the sandwich is made even more special when you use Triple Cheese Bread made with, yes, Tillamook Cheese. It will ooze from the inside out!” - Liren Baker of Kitchen Confidante
Lightly brush both sides of all the bread slices with melted butter. Lay one slice of cheese on one slice of bread. Layer slices of roasted red bell peppers, along with a thin layer of ham. Top with one more slice of cheese, followed by the second slice of bread. Repeat for remaining sandwiches.
On a nonstick or cast iron pan over medium-low heat, cook the sandwiches until the bread is golden brown on both sides, and the cheese is just melted. If the sandwich is thick, it may help to transfer the sandwiches onto an ovenproof plate and place into a 350°F oven to help melt the cheese.
Slice the sandwich in half on the diagonal and serve immediately.
