The Ultimate Grilled Roast Beef and Blue Cheese Sandwich
A simple yet elegant recipe for a gourmet grilled beef and blue cheese sandwich. The sandwich features a creamy spread made from a blend of softened cream cheese and crumbled blue cheese on sourdough bread. It is then layered with thinly sliced deli roast beef and red onion. The outside of the sandwich is brushed with olive oil and toasted in a skillet over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheesy filling is melted and warm.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 ounces crumbled blue cheese
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 3/4 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and crumbled blue cheese until they are blended into a spread.
- Spread the cheese mixture over all 8 slices of sourdough bread.
- Layer the roast beef and sliced red onion on 4 of the bread slices.
- Top with the remaining 4 bread slices, cheese-side down, to complete the sandwiches.
- Brush the outsides of the sandwiches with olive oil.
- In a large skillet, toast the sandwiches over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- Using softened cream cheese is a key step that allows it to blend easily with the blue cheese to create a smooth spread.
- This recipe uses olive oil instead of butter for grilling, which provides a nice flavor and helps to crisp the bread.
- Cooking the sandwiches over medium heat ensures the cheese melts completely by the time the bread is perfectly toasted.
