Bloody Mary Grilled Cheese

There are hundreds of amazing grilled cheese ideas out there, but we’ve come up with one that’s sure to surprise you: our Bloody Mary Grilled Cheese! The perfect combination of creamy, melted cheese, smoky ground pepper, juicy tomatoes, and of course – a little horseradish kick – this grilled cheese sandwich recipe is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! To make this stacked creation, we recommend starting with Cabot’s New York Extra Sharp Cheddar, and adding all the Bloody Mary toppings your heart desires: hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crispy bacon, briny pickles, and of course, tomatoes. Just like the cocktail you know and love, there’s no limit to what combinations you’ll think up!

For 6 sandwiches, start by gathering your ingredients and toppings, and whisk together tomato juice, eggs, vodka, horseradish, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a shallow dish. Make sure to season well with salt and pepper, then add your bread and soak in the mixture for 10 seconds and remove. Set aside.

Next, melt your Cabot Extra Creamy Premium Unsalted Butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

After your pan has heated up, add the 6 soaked bread slices and cook for 2 minutes. Flip one, then top with 2 slices of yellow sliced cheddar, 3 slices bacon, a couple of slices of pickle and tomato, and ¼ cup shredded white cheddar. Top with the second slice of bread with the cooked side down. Continue to cook both sides of the sandwich until deeply golden and the cheeses are melted, about 5 minutes per side. This batch will make 3 grilled sandwiches.

Repeat to make three more sandwiches, and garnish with your favorite Bloody Mary toppings. Get creative, and share your Bloody Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich with us on social media! Be sure to tag @cabotcheese on Instagram, or on Facebook.
