Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Tomato Bisque

Method

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Begin by laying out the slices of brioche bread on a clean surface.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese

    Evenly distribute the brie, cheddar, and Swiss cheese onto two slices of brioche.

  3. 3

    Close the Sandwich

    Top the cheese with the remaining slices of brioche to form two sandwiches.

  4. 4

    Butter the Bread

    Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on the outer side of each sandwich.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, buttered side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Flip the Sandwich

    Carefully flip the sandwiches, add the remaining butter to the skillet, and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  7. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and set aside while you prepare the soup.

Tomato Bisque

  1. 8

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

  2. 9

    Add Tomatoes

    Pour in the canned whole tomatoes (including juice) and stir to combine. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.

  3. 10

    Add Broth

    Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  4. 11

    Blend the Soup

    Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending in batches.

  5. 12

    Add Cream and Season

    Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add chopped fresh basil.

  6. 13

    Serve Hot

    Ladle the tomato bisque into bowls and serve alongside the grilled cheese sandwiches.
