Author Creative Culinary

Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 can green chiles chopped

  • Chipotle aioli
  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise
  • Adobo chile sauce
  • Combine sauce with mayonnaise to taste...some like it hot!

Instructions

  • 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

Notes

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![br][br]More: Sadly this little place has gone out of business and has been replaced with a pizza joint. So glad I recreated this as a reminder...and why does every place I love die. :(
