Best Grilled Cheese Ever

10 ingredients
14 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 poblano or Anaheim chiles (or you may use canned whole green chiles)
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 8 slices rye bread
  • 12 slices provolone
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 8 slices Cheddar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

Directions

  1. 1
    Begin by roasting the chiles over the flame on your stovetop (or under the broiler) until the skin is totally blackened (if using fresh).
  2. 2
    When the chiles are totally charred, throw them into a plastic bag.
  3. 3
    Seal and allow them to steam and cool.
  4. 4
    Next, pour the white vinegar over the sliced red onion and let them sit awhile.
  5. 5
    This'll take away a little of the crazy onion flavor and leave them with a nice sweetness.
  6. 6
    Finally, make the special sauce: equal amounts of mayonnaise and Dijon.
  7. 7
    It's the simple things in life!
  8. 8
    When you're ready to make the sandwiches, scrape the blackened skin off the chiles.
  9. 9
    Scrape out the seeds, too, so you'll wind up with big pieces of roasted green chiles.
  10. 10
    For each sandwich, generously spread 2 pieces of rye bread with the special sauce.
  11. 11
    Lay on 2 slices of provolone, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of Cheddar... a nice layer of roasted green chiles... a few red onion slices... and one more slice of provolone just to hold it all together.
  12. 12
    Top with the other slice of bread and spread the outsides with a good amount of butter.
  13. 13
    Toast the sandwich in a skillet over medium-low heat until the cheese is thoroughly melted inside.
  14. 14
    Be careful not to burn the bread!
