Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup Bake
Think of this as the grown-up version of the childhood classic, perfect for a chilly evening at home.
Supplies
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 (28 ounces) can San Marzano tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken stock
- Salt and pepper
- Softened garlic butter, for spreading
- 8 slices of bread
- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 12 slices cheddar cheese
- Parmesan cheese, for the top
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté onions and garlic over medium heat until tender. Add in tomatoes and cook until caramelized and cooked down. Add chicken stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, until flavors have melded. Season with salt and pepper and blend.
- Prepare sandwiches by spreading 1 side of each bread slice with garlic butter, layering the other with a 1 1/2 slices of cheddar cheese and a few torn pieces of mozzarella. Cook on both sides until golden.
- Pour 1 cup of soup on the bottom, and layer sandwiches on top, followed by a drizzle of more soup. Grate some Parmesan cheese on top and bake for 10-20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
