Grilled Cheese made Numee

(Transferred from the old blog, Numeenum)

Ok, so, a staple most everyone loves is also one of my favorite quick fix meals: grilled cheese. There are two 'trick's I recommend to everyone that will get you the best results.
1) Use olive oil - I heat my pan slightly, drop a bit of olive oil, just enough to dip one side of each slice of bread into it, lightly covering the side you'll be cooking. This makes the bread crispy and flavored nicely. It cooks faster than butter or margarine, and is much better for you.
2) Use multiple flavors of cheese, and have fun with it! Its best to use cheese that melts quickly if you can, because the bread will cook pretty fast at medium heat. If however your cheese isn't melted all the way, pop the sandwich in the microwave after it has been grilled...just long enough to melt the cheese but not to make the bread soft.


The sandwhich I made had a shredded italian mix, a small amount of smoked gouda, and some horseradish cheddar. The horseraddish gave it a great kick...I love some heat, and this gives just the right amount where you still get to enjoy the food.

Cheers!
