For the Grilled Cheese

Method

For the Grilled Cheese

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grilled Cheese

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each slice of Texas toast.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese

    On the non-buttered side of two slices, layer 1/2 cup of American cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese. Top with the remaining slices, buttered side up.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Place the sandwiches in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Slice and Set Aside

    Once done, remove from skillet, slice into quarters, and set aside.

For the Tomato-Basil Soup Dip

  1. 5

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute.

  2. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

  3. 7

    Season the Soup

    Add chopped fresh basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and let it cook for 15 minutes.

  4. 8

    Blend and Add Cream

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

  5. 9

    Serve

    Transfer the tomato-basil soup dip to a serving bowl and serve alongside the grilled cheese quarters.
