Raw tomatillos taste like tart green apples. Ingredients:
12 slices (1/2 in. thick) ciabatta bread |
about 1/4 cup butter, softened |
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced |
about 4 tomatillos (6 oz.), husks removed, rinsed, and cut into 1/4-in.-thick slices |
8 slices cooked bacon, broken into thirds |
1/4 cup cilantro sprigs |
6 ounces panela cheese* or mozzarella, cut into thin wedges |
Directions:
1. Spread a side of each bread slice with butter. Turn 6 slices over; top with cheddar, then tomatillos, bacon, cilantro, and panela. Top with remaining bread, buttered side up.
2. Cook sandwiches in a large nonstick frying pan (work in batches or use 2 pans) over medium-low heat until golden on both sides and cheese melts, 7 minutes total.
3. *Panela, a fresh Mexican cheese, melts without losing its shape. Find it at Mexican markets.
