Taste-bud Journey: Grilled Cheese Open-Faced Sandwich on Homemade Bread

During the pandemic, I am taking taste-bud journeys as I self-isolate rather than physical journeys. Here is my adapted recipe for Grilled Cheese Open-Faced Sandwich using the homemade bread I had made the previous day. It was inspired by the memories of dozens of grilled cheese sandwiches I have eaten through the years.

 

Recipe

• One or more slices of bread
• Enough butter to butter one side of each slice of bread
• 1 or 2 slices of your favorite type of cheese (I used Colby Jack)

Taste-bud Journey: Baking Half a Loaf of Bread using Bread Flour in Mini Pullman Loaf Pan

   

Procedure

• Step 1: Butter one side of the slice of bread.

• Step 2: Lay that slice of buttered bread, butter-side down, in an unseasoned frying pan. [FYI- You don't need to add cooking oil as the butter will keep the bread from burning and/or sticking.]

• Step 3: Top the bread slice with one or two slices of your favorite type of cheese. I used 2 slices of Colby Jack cheese.


• Step 4: Fry this long enough that the bottom of the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted into the bread.

• Step 5: Plate, serve, and enjoy!
