GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Makes 1 serving:

• 2 slices Cheddar, American or Swiss cheese
• 2 slices white bread
• 2 tablespoons butter

Put the cheese between the slices of bread. Heat
1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet or grill;
when it is melted add the sandwich. Gently press
down with a spatula once or twice during the
grilling. When one side is golden, add the
remaining tablespoon of butter, turn the
sandwich over and brown.

Variations:

Grilled cheese with bacon: Fry 3 slices bacon
until cooked but not crisp. Pat dry of excess
fat, add on top of the cheese and grill as
directed.

Grilled cheese with ham: Put 2 thin slices ham
on the cheese and grill as directed. Serve with
sweet pickle.

Onion-cheese sandwich: Follow the recipe for
grilled cheese sandwich, but lightly coat 1
slice of bread with Dijon mustard. Saute 3-4
slices onion in butter and put on top of the
cheese. Cover and grill.

Tomato-cheese sandwich: Follow the recipe for
grilled cheese sandwich, but add 2 thin slices
tomato to the sandwich before grilling.

You can also add the butter to the bread before
Grilling. I think it tastes better : )
