- For the Mini Grilled Cheese Dippers
- 8 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 6 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese), halved
- For the Tomato Soup
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 oz / 800g) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups (480 ml) vegetable broth
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
Instructions
- 1. Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- 2. Lay out the bread slices on a work surface. Spread one side of each slice with butter. Place a half slice of cheese between two bread slices, buttered sides facing out, to form a sandwich. Repeat for all sandwiches.
- 3. Grill sandwiches in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cheese is melted. Remove, let cool briefly, then slice each sandwich into 3 or 4 strips to create “dippers.”
- 4. For the soup, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- 5. Stir in crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, sugar, basil, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 6. Remove from heat. Puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth (or transfer to a blender in batches). Return to low heat. Stir in heavy cream and adjust seasoning to taste.
- 7. Serve the hot tomato soup in small bowls or mugs, with mini grilled cheese dippers on the side for dipping and enjoying.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Achten Sie darauf, die Butter gleichmäßig auf das Brot zu streichen, damit die Mini-Grilled-Cheese-Dipper beim Braten schön goldbraun und knusprig werden. Lassen Sie die Sandwiches nach dem Grillen leicht abkühlen, bevor Sie sie in Streifen schneiden, damit der Käse nicht ausläuft.
Varianten und Anpassungen
Swap cheddar for Swiss, mozzarella, or Gruyère for a twist. For a lighter soup, omit the heavy cream or use milk. Add fresh basil or a pinch of chili flakes for extra flavor.
Serviervorschläge
Serve the mini grilled cheese dippers alongside hot tomato soup in small bowls or mugs. This dish pairs nicely with a crisp white wine or sparkling water for a refreshing balance.
