Heidi's Fried Cheese Sandwich image

My first culinary 'experience'. I must have been about 7, reading Heidi. This recipe was in the edition I was reading and I had to run to the kitchen and try it out immediately. Mom watched. Still fantastic! Expect something like a savoury-cheesey French Toast.

Time 18m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 slices bread, thick (preferably bakery, but sandwich bread will do if nothing else is available)
butter
enough swiss cheese, to make a thick filling (the real stuff, I suppose cheddar would be good too, but Heidi's grandfather always gave her gruyer)
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk or 3 tablespoons cream
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Butter the bread generously and layer the cheese between the two pieces.
  • Beat the egg with the milk in a container large enough to contain the sandwich and season lightly (don't forget the cheese has salt too).
  • Allow the sandwich to absorb the egg/milk mixture- turn over 1/2 way through so the other side absorbs some too.
  • This should take about 10-15 minutes so as much of the custard is absorbed as possible.
  • Drop a tablespoonful of butter into a skillet (cast iron is best), on medium heat.
  • When it bubbles and smells very fragrant, add the sandwich and fry on both sides till a lovely dark-golden-brown and the cheese is all gooey and melted.
  • Put it on your best plate, pour yourself a big glass of milk, get out a fork and knife and enjoy.
  • Note: The texture of this is not like a regular grilled sandwich as the bread becomes moist and puffy because of the egg/milk soaking.

I followed the recipe exactly and my sandwich turned out perfectly. The cheese was melted and gooey, and the bread was crispy and golden brown. I served it with tomato soup and it was a delicious meal.

This fried cheese sandwich is a game-changer! The combination of melted cheese, crispy bread, and tangy tomato soup is simply irresistible. I highly recommend it!
