One of my favorite Comfort Foods: Grilled Cheese |
Friday night I was craving 'comfort food'. My crazy busy schedule and the stress of everything has me on the go from about 6:am to 11:00 pm every day and sometimes I just want the world to STOP and I want to sit and eat something hot and comforting. That day I had been thinking about grilled cheese. Not just any grilled cheese, but a thick, hearty bread with various cheddars and gouda's. When I found I would be alone at dinner time that evening I knew exactly what I would make myself!
Broiled Cheese Sandwich
2 pieces of your favorite thick, hearty bread
Butter, real
Various cheeses of almost any sort that you love
If you are using a hearth bread or ciabatta, slice it in half lengthwise to make 2 slices. Butter the tops with a thin layer of real butter. Place under the broiler in your oven just long enough to toast it and give it a golden, crispy layer. Top with your favorite cheese(s). I mix it up different each time but this time used shredded Cheddar, a Cheshire Cheddar from England, Gouda from Wisconsin and topped it with a slice of good old American. Return the sandwich to the broiler for a minute or two until the cheese melts and starts to bubble. Serve immediately with a bowl of hearty soup, or a salad or just as it is.
