Another variation of the grilled cheese. Comfort food with a twist? I knew I wanted grilled cheese and tomato, but something said to me I need to add something else into the mix. How about some sauteed yellow bell pepper and onion? Sure. And that's what I did. The slight sweetness from bell pepper was a nice added flavor.
I feel like having grilled cheese again.
Makes 2 sandwiches
Grilled Cheese with Tomato, Bell Pepper and Onion
4 slices of bread - your choice
1 c shredded cheese - your choice
1 small tomato - 1/4-inch thick slices
1/2 medium onion - sliced
1 small to medium bell pepper - thin sliced and deseeded.
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive
1 Tbsp butter
Heat a pan with a small drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and butter. Saute the onion and bell pepper together until both are tender. Season with a little salt and pepper. Set aside.
To make a sandwich:
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Evenly place some of the cheese on the other side. Top with a couple slices of tomato followed but the bell pepper and tomato mixture. Top with more cheese and the other slice of butter bread. The sandwich should have buttered-side out.
Heat an ungreased skillet and cook both sides until the bread has browned and toasted. 3-5 minutes each side on medium heat.
Serve warm.
Note: If you've got a grill or press, cook for 4-5 minutes until bread is browned and toasted.

I love grilled cheese. You should try using fresh basil leaves, they add such a difference :).

The grilled cheese sandwich seems simple enough but it has such variety! I used to have them plain but now, adding veggies just perks them up. Haute GCS!

First of all, happy blogaversary! I've enjoyed reading your blog & I look forward to more! Also I just love how comforting grilled cheese can be, especially on cold days. My favorite thing is to have it with homemade tomato soup! No feeling like it!
Yummy! I love grilled cheese but never had it with bell pepper. Add some shredded chicken and you got yourself a nice southwest grilled cheese...yum!
I love fresh tomatoes in my grilled cheese, adding peppers and onion is a great idea.
