Gilda Grilled Cheese
Serves 2
By Molly Baz
Introduction:
Inspired by Spanish tapas, packed with briny brightness, and grilled to golden perfection, this sandwich is Molly Baz’s love letter to crispy edges and condiments.
For the Sandwich:
- 4 slices rustic white bread
- 3 oz aged cheddar, thinly sliced
- 3 oz manchego cheese, thinly sliced
- Olive oil, for frying
- Butter, for final grilling
For the Gilda Tapenade:
- ¼ cup Castelvetrano olives, finely chopped
- ¼ cup cornichons, finely chopped
- ¼ cup pickled pepperoncini, finely
- chopped
- 4 anchovy fillets, smashed into a paste
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- 2–3 Tbsp olive oil
Optional Garnish (Gilda Skewer):
- Additional olives, anchovies, pepperoncini, and cornichons
Instructions:
- Thinly slice cheddar and manchego into even pieces so they melt at the same rate.
- Finely chop olives, cornichons, and pepperoncini.
- Smash anchovies into a paste with the side of your knife.
- Combine with grated garlic and olive oil to form a chunky tapenade.
- Heat a skillet over medium with a drizzle of olive oil. Toast one side of each bread slice until golden and crisp; remove from heat.
- On the toasted side, layer cheddar slices, a spoonful of tapenade, then manchego, letting cheese slightly overhang edges for crispy frico.
- Top with the second slice of bread, toasted side in.
- Add butter to the skillet and return the sandwich to the pan. Grill on low-medium until both sides are deep golden and cheese is fully melted, 4–6 minutes per side.
- Optional: Skewer an anchovy, olive, pepperoncino, and cornichon for garnish, and serve immediately.
