A new take on a familiar favorite pairs grilled cheese with a BLT for a luscious veggie-packed sandwich that feels like an indulgence. Serve with zesty dill pickle spears. If you have extra room in your budget, pair with a sweet-tart hard cider. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
1 cup vertically sliced red onion |
1 large garlic clove, minced |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp white cheddar cheese (such as cracker barrel) |
8 (1 1/2-ounce) slices hearty white bread (such as pepperidge farm) |
2 cups fresh spinach leaves |
8 (1/4-inch-thick) slices tomato |
6 slices center-cut bacon, cooked |
Directions:
1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add 1 cup onion and garlic; cook for 10 minutes or until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally.
2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over each of 4 bread slices. Top each slice with 1/2 cup spinach, 2 tomato slices, 2 tablespoons onion mixture, and 1 1/2 bacon slices. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons cheese; top with the remaining 4 bread slices.
3. Heat skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Place sandwiches in pan, and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cheese melts.
