Mini Fiesta Grilled Cheeses


These little grilled cheeses are absolutely like no other and so simple! The recipe came from my mother, and I LOVED when she would make them. They are just so easy and really give the traditional grilled cheese a run for its money. They only require 4 ingredients and about 5 minutes to make. I usually pair them with some kind of soup. I promise you will love them!

1. In a bowl combine 1 can Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese soup and 1 8oz. bag shredded sharp cheddar cheese. You could probably use any cheese you have on hand. It should be similar to the consistency of pimento cheese.

2. Thinly slice a store-bought french baguette. The above picture was only half of the baguette. One full baguette gave us 4 good servings. 

3. Lay all the slices out on your cutting board. Butter one side of each piece (like you would a grilled cheese).

4. On the non-buttered side of half the pieces, spread on about a heaping TBSP of the cheese mixture. 

5. Put the tops on. Outside of sandwiches should be all buttered. Preheat panini press, grill pan, or griddle to med-high heat. 

6. Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes or until toasted and melty. The cheese usually starts running down the rides and sizzling on the pan.

7. This is what they look like when they are done! Love those little grill marks!:)

8. Serve it up with some warm tomato soup and you can never go wrong!
