For the Three Cheese Sandwich

For the Roasted Tomato Soup

Method

For the Three Cheese Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of each brioche slice. Layer the cheddar, mozzarella, and Gruyère cheese between two slices of bread, buttered side out. If adding bacon, cook the bacon until crispy and layer it inside the sandwich. Optionally, add sliced avocado.

  2. 2

    Grill the Sandwich

    Place the sandwich on the skillet and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute before slicing.

For the Roasted Tomato Soup

  1. 3

    Roast the Vegetables

    In a separate pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent. Then add chopped tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 5

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Optionally, stir in fresh basil leaves for added flavor.
