Best Grilled Cheese Ever
- 4 poblano or Anaheim chiles (or you may use canned whole green chiles)
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 8 slices rye bread
- 12 slices provolone
- 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 8 slices Cheddar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- Begin by roasting the chiles over the flame on your stovetop (or under the broiler) until the skin is totally blackened (if using fresh).
- When the chiles are totally charred, throw them into a plastic bag.
- Seal and allow them to steam and cool.
- Next, pour the white vinegar over the sliced red onion and let them sit awhile.
- This'll take away a little of the crazy onion flavor and leave them with a nice sweetness.
- Finally, make the special sauce: equal amounts of mayonnaise and Dijon.
- It's the simple things in life!
- When you're ready to make the sandwiches, scrape the blackened skin off the chiles.
- Scrape out the seeds, too, so you'll wind up with big pieces of roasted green chiles.
- For each sandwich, generously spread 2 pieces of rye bread with the special sauce.
- Lay on 2 slices of provolone, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of Cheddar... a nice layer of roasted green chiles... a few red onion slices... and one more slice of provolone just to hold it all together.
- Top with the other slice of bread and spread the outsides with a good amount of butter.
- Toast the sandwich in a skillet over medium-low heat until the cheese is thoroughly melted inside.
- Be careful not to burn the bread!
