Were you underwhelmed by ordinary grilled cheese salads? This recipe was born from the desire to enhance the flavor by cooking directly over heat. These special bacon-wrapped cheese rolls boast a fantastic combination of savory bacon and rich cheese, offering a crispy exterior and a wonderfully melty, gooey center. They make a satisfying salad option to pair with spicy braised ribs, and are perfect for a simple yet impressive home party dish.
Main Ingredients- 125g Grilled cheese (block or sliced cheese)
- 130g Bacon
- 40g Mixed salad greens
- 1 Tbsp Sesame dressing (or dressing of your choice)
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the bacon and cheese. The term ‘grilled cheese’ can be a bit ambiguous, but you can use either block cheese or sliced cheese. Choose the cheese that best suits your preference.
Step 2
Cut the bacon strips in half. Note the total number of bacon pieces you have, and then cut the cheese into similarly sized pieces to match.
Step 3
Place a piece of cheese on top of a bacon strip and carefully roll the bacon tightly around the cheese. It’s important to wrap it neatly so that the cheese doesn’t spill out from the bacon. (Tip: If you have leftover cheese, you can simply grill it on its own to serve as a side.)
Step 4
Wash the salad greens thoroughly and ensure they are completely dry. Arrange them attractively in the serving bowl. Fresh greens help balance the flavors. Drizzle the prepared sesame dressing and lemon juice evenly over the greens and toss lightly.
Step 5
Heat a pan over medium heat and place the bacon-wrapped cheese rolls to cook until golden brown. Lightly grease the pan. Using soybean oil instead of olive oil or butter can enhance the bacon’s natural flavor. Cook over medium-low heat to ensure the inside is heated through and the bacon doesn’t burn.
Step 6
Once the bacon-wrapped cheese rolls are beautifully cooked and golden, arrange them attractively on top of the prepared salad to complete the dish. Enjoy the crispy bacon on the outside and the warm, wonderfully melted cheese filling, perfectly complemented by the fresh salad!
