bread
block of cheddar or mozzarella cheese
For each sandwich, toast two slices of bread. Cut enough
slices of cheese off the block to cover one slice. Add the second slice and
microwave until the cheese starts to melt. That’s 40 seconds in my ancient
microwave but will probably be less in a newer, more high-powered model.
If you’re watching fat, calories, or cholesterol, you can
use a low fat cheddar such as Allegra (it has 4% milk fat) in this, and it will
taste just fine. Because the bread isn’t buttered, it’s already lower in
calories than a standard grilled cheese.
Serve with ketchup and a dill pickle slice. Or you can add a
tablespoon of salsa on top of the cheese before you microwave the sandwich.
With the exception of slicing the cheese, this can very
easily be made by kids. Or buy a bag of shredded cheese for them to use, and
there’ll be no worry about knives.
