Grilled Queso Fresco Cheese Sandwich with Green Chiles

Grilled Queso Fresco Cheese Sandwich with Green Chiles

 

 

4 T. olive oil, divided

1 can green chiles, chopped

1 medium onion, diced

Bread – 8 slices – I did use some great chiabatta bread but use what you have

1 package Queso Fresco cheese; ours was 12 oz.

Chipotle aioli

1/4 cup Mayonnaise

Adobo chile sauce
Combine sauce with mayonnaise to taste…some like it hot!

 

Dice onion and saute in 2Tbsp of olive oil until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.  Add green chiles, salt and pepper and cook at low temperature for 10 minutes to meld flavors.  Brush bread slices on one side with olive oil. Place four bread slices with olive oil side down in skillet. Layer cheese on top of bread, top with chile/onion mixture.  Slather 2nd piece of bread with Chipotle mayonnaise.  Top cheese and chile mixture with 2nd bread layer, olive oil side facing up. Grill til browned on both sides and cheese is melted.  Note:  I must admit, I did wish I had some bacon on hand…adding a couple of slices of crisp bacon to each sandwich would still make this an easy and delicious dish!
