Cheese pull Masala Grilled Cheese
Grilled Cheese according to me is one of man’s greatest inventions. I love adding the extra ingredients in it to bring it to the next level. The kick from the spices is beautifully balanced by the creamy cheeses. This is a NO fail recipe- you will always get a cheese pull. This is so good with a hot tomato soup for dinner. This recipe works well with both kids and adults- i mean who does not like gooey melty cheese?
Happy Cooking!
Servings: 2 grilled cheese
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 5-8 minutes
Total Time: 30 mins
Ingredients:
1-1.5 cup shredded cheese mixed- I used Italian blend, Cheddar and Gruyere. (If you like it less filling then use 3/4-1 cup of cheese)
4 slices of bread- I used Pepperidge farm Hearty White bread
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1.5 tbsp chopped coriander
2 green chillies finely chopped
3 tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cumin powder
Butter - I used Kerrygold
3 tbsp hot garlic sauce- I used Maggi (optional)
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce (optional)
Directions:
In a bowl mix the cheeses together.
Add the onion, coriander, chillies, seasonings and heavy cream together.
The mixture should be well combined and somewhat holds it shape.
Butter one side of each slice of bread. (Optional)
Mix the hot garlic sauce with the sweet chilli sauce. Spread it on the buttered side of the bread. Make sure to spread it to the edges (optional)
Divide the cheese mixture between two slices of bread. Make sure to get it to the edges. Sandwich it & press down slightly.
Spread butter on one side of the bread.
Place the buttered side down on a hot griddle. Cook on low heat.
Spread butter on the top side (unbuttered) of the sandwich
When the side gets lightly brown, flip it over and gently press down.
Cook till the side is well cooked and toasty. I like to get a nice brown color on it.
Flip it over and cook till both the sides are as toasty as you like it.
Cut and pull them to get that amazing cheese pull.
Sevre warm!
Notes/Tips:
Use cheeses that melt well.
Some of the cheeses that would be great-Cheddar, Mozzarella, Gruyere, Provolone, Emmental Cheese. Amul cheese works great in this recipe.
The sauces are optional but they really amp up the flavor.
The cream helps with the cheese pull. It gives a smooth creamy texture to the sandwich.
This grilled cheese will be great on a sour dough bread as well.
Cooking on a low flame helps melt the cheese and get a nice toasty texture to the bread. If you cook on a high flame the cheese may not melt and your bread may burn.
If you are making it for kids, reduce or do not add the chillies.
Spreading butter on the inside of the bread helps protect the moisture of the bread when its cooking. It is an optional step.
