Grilled Cheese Bread Bowl
INGREDIENTS
- 1 bread boule (round bread loaf)
- 6 slices (or more if needed) Follow Your Heart Dairy-Free American Slices
- 3 tbsp vegan butter
- 8-16 oz tomato soup of your choice (homemade or store bought)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Use a serrated knife to cut a round circle into the top of the bread loaf and carefully along the inside. Make sure to go almost to the bottom (but not through) and cut out the center.
- Use your hands or the help of a spoon to carefully remove the center cylinder of bread. Reserve to make the grilled cheese with.
- Place 1 slice of the Dairy-Free American Slices into the bottom of your bread bowl and then line the sides with 3 or more slices. Allow the cheese slices to overlap onto the edges of the bread bowl. Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted. You can use aluminum foil to create a tent to help steam the cheese.
- While the bread bowl is in the oven, make your grilled cheese. Cut off any hard crust from the bread cylinder and then cut it into two round pieces. Butter the back and front sides of each half. Place two slices of the cheese onto one half and top with the other half of bread.
- In a skillet on medium heat, melt 1 tbsp of vegan butter. Place the sandwich into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until nicely browned. Flip and repeat until the other side is browned and the cheese has melted. If you have a melting dome feel free to use that once both sides have browned.
- Fill the baked bread bowl with hot tomato soup and enjoy. Dunking your grilled cheese is highly recommended!
