Kona Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Makes one sandwich

Ingredients
  • 1 slice Monterey Jack cheese

  • 1 slice swiss cheese

  • 1 slice sharp cheddar

  • 3 slices Roma tomato

  • 1 slice purple onion (sliced very thinly)

  • 2 slices bread of your choice (the original was made with white but we also love it on a good sourdough or whole wheat country loaf)

  • butter for cooking


Directions

In a frying pan or griddle pan over medium heat melt a small amount of butter. Spread the chipotle puree on one slice of bread then place it in the pan and let cook until butter just soaks in, about one minute. Place the three slices of cheese on top of the bread along with the tomato and onion. Once the cheese begins to melt just slightly, place the second piece of bread on top and flip the sandwich over to cook on the other side. The side now facing up should be golden brown. Watch for the cheese to melt completely, check the underside of the bread and remove once the second side is also golden brown. Plate and enjoy!
