Description
This grilled green chile and cheese sandwich is one of my favorite Fall sandwiches. I make it when I start finding green chiles roasting on the side of the street!
Ingredients
- 2 slices of good artisan bread
- 1 T of butter
- 1/4 c finely chopped scallions
- 1 - 2 T mayonnaise
- 1/4 c shredded pepper jack
- 1/4 c shredded sharp Cheddar
- 1 - 2 freshly roasted green chiles with skin and seeds removed
- 1 oz dried or cooked chorizo (optional)
- Pickled Onions (optional) 2 T Parmesan or Parmigiano Reggiano
Instructions
In a skillet large enought to hold a sandwich, melt butter over medium heat.
Add chopped scallions and cook on low while preparing sandwich.
Spread 1 T of mayonnaise on inside of both slices of bread. Place shredded pepper Jack on top of one slice of bread. Top with several slices of green chile. Top with chorizo, if using. Add a few pickled onions, if using. Top with shredded Cheddar. Place on top slice of bread.
Spread top slice with mayo or butter. Sprinkle on 1 T of grated Parmesan. Place that side in scallion butter and cook on medium low for about 6 - 8 minutes. Cover skillet loosely with a piece of foil to help keep the heat in which will also help the cheese melt better. Now spread the side on top with more mayo or butter and top with the other tablespoon of Parmesan. Cook until this smells good and then it should be ready to flip. Cook the other side for 6 - 8 minutes, pressing firmly to create a crispy, cheesy crust on each side.
Depending on the heat of your burner this should be ready in about 12 minutes and have that glorious flavor of green chiles and cheese.
