2791. TOMATILLO GRILLED CHEESE and BACON SANDWICHES

serves 4 to 6


12 slices (1/2-inch thick) ciabatta bread
about 1/4 cup butter, softened
4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
about 4 tomatillos (6 oz.), husks removed, rinsed, and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
8 slices cooked bacon, broken into thirds
1/4 cup cilantro sprigs
6 oz. panela cheese or mozzarella, cut into thin wedges

Spread a side of each bread slice with butter. Turn 6 slices over; top with cheddar, then tomatillos, bacon, cilantro, and panela. Top with remaining bread, buttered side up. Cook sandwiches in a large nonstick frying pan (work in batches or use 2 pans) over medium-low heat until golden on both sides and cheese melts, 7 minutes total.
