Ingredients

  • bread (nice thick bread like French, challah, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon green bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon red bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped red onion
  • 1 fresh garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • chives
  • 1 teaspoon carrot, grated
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, cubed (or grated)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (or grape seed oil)

Method

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet. Saute onion, peppers, garlic and carrot for 1-2 minutes. Add hot sauce and cheddar cheese. Allow cheese to start to melt. Remove from heat.
  • Slice bread into 1 inch slices. Pour cheese mixture on one slice of bread , add chives, and top it with another slice to form a sandwich. May make open faced, in which case you would only grill one side.
  • Grill until grill marks are formed, about 30 seconds on each side. In the winter I grill in a grill pan.
  • Great served with soup. Enjoy!
