Grilled Cheese Sandwiche

I make grilled cheese sandwiches often. I have some helpful hints that make the sandwiches extra yummy.

1. Use low heat on the skillet since you want the crust to become crispy and golden brown. If you use too much heat, it will burn.

2. Butter tastes much better than olive oil on the crust. I like to be healthy and not use too much. I accomplish this by using frozen bread. You can spread very little butter over the bread slice without damaging it.

By the way, I always keep bread in the freezer because it lasts for months that way.

3. Give some garlic flavor to your sandwich by rubbing a whole clove of garlic (or more) on the frozen bread. The garlic 'melts' into the bread crevices by acting like a grater. Remember, you have to have frozen bread.

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Even number of bread slices, must be frozen solid
Unsalted butter, soft or melted
Good melting cheese (such as fontina, mozzarella, cheddar), sliced or grated

Preheat a skillet (I do not like to use non-stick) over low heat for a couple of minutes.

Take a slice of frozen bread and butter it on one side with butter. Repeat with the other slice. Use just enough to cover both slices with a thin coating of butter. I use a metal butter knife to spread the butter. Sandwich the cheese between the sides of bread that are not buttered.

Place the sandwich into empty (no oil) skillet and keep the heat very low. Cook for about until golden on one side and flip to cook on the other side.
