GRILLED CHEESE WITH GRAINY MUSTARD
We used cheddar cheese in these sandwiches, but any type of cheese that oozes when it melts, such as Swiss, will produce just as delicious a sandwich.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread butter over one side of each slice of bread.
- Arrange bread, butter side down, on a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper. Spread each slice of bread with mustard. Arrange cheese over 4 slices of bread, and sandwich together with remaining bread, butter side out.
- Set a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches in batches in skillet. Using a spatula, press down firmly on sandwiches. Cook until bread is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low. Turn sandwiches over, press down with spatula, and cook until bread is golden and cheese is starting to melt, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet, and place in oven. Bake until cheese is completely melted. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Spread both slices of bread with mustard and top 1 slice with Brie and pear. Top with remaining slice and press together gently. Generously brush both sides of sandwich with oil.
- Place sandwich in skillet and cover with a piece of foil. Place a half-filled teakettle or a heavy skillet on top to weigh it down and cook until bread is golden and cheese begins to melt, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread that can hold up to the heat and cheese is essential. Sourdough, country bread, or a hearty whole-grain bread are all good options.
- Use high-quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a cheese that melts well and has a bold flavor. Cheddar, Gruyère, or fontina are all good choices.
- Add some extras: Don't be afraid to get creative with your grilled cheese. Add some sliced ham or bacon, sautéed mushrooms or onions, or even a fried egg. You can also use different types of mustard, such as honey mustard or Dijon mustard, to add a bit of extra flavor.
- Cook the grilled cheese slowly: Don't rush the cooking process. Cook the grilled cheese over medium heat so that the bread has time to get golden brown and the cheese has time to melt and bubble.
- Serve the grilled cheese immediately: Grilled cheese is best when served hot and fresh. Serve it with a side of soup or salad for a complete meal.
Conclusion:
With these tips, you'll be able to make a grilled cheese sandwich that is perfectly golden brown, gooey, and delicious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, reach for some bread, cheese, and mustard, and get grilling!
