Description
Charming mini heart-shaped grilled cheese sandwiches made with quality bread and melty cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- Soft bread (brioche, sourdough, or classic white sandwich loaf)
- Sharp cheddar or American cheese
- High-quality unsalted butter
- Warm tomato soup (for dipping)
- Dijon mustard (optional)
- Thinly sliced tomatoes (optional)
- Roasted red peppers (optional)
- Finely grated Parmesan (optional)
- Fresh herbs (optional)
- Honey or fig jam (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your bread and cheese: Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to create heart shapes from the bread and cut the cheese slightly smaller.
- Butter the outer sides of each heart-shaped bread piece with softened unsalted butter.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing the cheese between two buttered bread hearts.
- Grill in a preheated skillet over medium heat, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Transfer the sandwiches to a paper towel to absorb excess butter, then serve immediately with warm tomato soup for dipping.
Notes
For best results, ensure all ingredients are fresh and use slightly thicker slices of bread to prevent sogginess. Feel free to get creative with add-ons like herbs or lighter spreads.
