Bloody Mary Grilled Cheese

Rating 

This is part grilled cheese, part savory French toast. It might sound crazy, but it totally works.
Ingredients
  • 1 c. tomato juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ c. vodka
  • 2 tsp. prepared horseradish
  • 2 tsp. hot sauce, such as Cholula
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 4 slices sourdough
  • 6 slices cooked bacon
  • 6 slices dill pickle
  • 4 slices yellow cheddar
  • 4 slices white cheddar
  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced into rounds
  • Grape tomatoes, for garnish
  • Cornichons, for garnish
  • 2 Kalamata olives, for garnish
Instructions
  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together tomato juice, eggs, vodka, horseradish, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Add bread and soak for 10 seconds.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add 2 soaked bread slices and cook 2 minutes. Flip one, then top with half the yellow cheddar, half the bacon, a couple slices of pickle and tomato, and half the white cheddar. Sandwich with remaining slices of bread.
  3. Cook until sandwich is deeply golden, 5 minutes per side. Repeat to make second sandwich. Skewer olives, grape tomatoes, and cornichons to garnish sandwiches.
