Today, Val & I have created a mouthwatering spread for a local company's Christmas business meeting....puff pastry rolls with prosciutto, basil, tomato, & parmigiana, bruschetta with roasted tomato & garlic yumminess, an antipasti platter, and for dessert...flourless chocolate cake bites with dark chocolate ganache drizzle, and vanilla cheesecake bites...MMMMMMM!! Now, where was I...? ( Oh, yeah, I was drooling...)
Now go from that to what I will be making for the drumline this weekend...the winter classic...tomato soup & grilled cheese sandwiches, nothing fancy, just perfectly grilled, toast, melty cheese...(I'm drooling again...note to self- go make food when done.)... So, all that being said...I don't hardly know how to cook for less than 30 anymore!
But, for the perfect grilled cheese, make sure your griddle is at 350 degrees, use butter on the outsides of your bread...you would not believe how much of a difference that makes, then grill for @ 4-5 min. each side (or until golden brown)...then enjoy the most perfect, golden, creamy yumminess that brings you right back to your childhood.
Doing them for a family (or more)? A loaf of bread (standard white) usually yields 11 sandwiches, unless you use the butt bread & make it inside out (they'll never know...really.), then you'll get 12.
Are there people who DON'T butter the outsides of the bread?! Sacrilege!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?? Or use something other than butter...the best (going thru a bacon phase) are the american cheese slices with BACON in them...YUMMMMM!!!
