HOT-IRON GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH



Hot-Iron Grilled Cheese Sandwich image

This is out of a cookbook called "Patio Daddy-O" 50' recipes with a 90's twist...making a grilled cheese sandwich with a hot iron and aluminum foil may seem odd at first. But after you taste them, you'll agree that the weight and even heat of the iron produce the toastiest, crispiest cheese sandwiches on the planet...you can use the healthy sprouted breads and fancy cheeses...but to really get the awesome flavor you need to use the old-fashioned American cheese ( the ones wrapped in plastic) nested between slices of white bread...Open the foil occasionally while grilling to make sure the sandwich doesn't overcook; when finished, the bread should be thin, almost flat, and beautifully bronzed, oozing cheese. Cooking time does not include heating the iron...

  • Spread the butter or mayonnaise all the way to the edges of the bread to prevent the sandwich from sticking to the iron.
  • Grate or slice the cheese thinly so that it melts evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the sandwich with fillings, or it will be difficult to close and cook evenly.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat so that the bread has time to brown and the cheese has time to melt.
  • Flip the sandwich only once, or the cheese may leak out.
  • Let the sandwich rest for a minute or two before slicing so that the cheese has time to set.
