Classic Grilled Two Cheese Recipe (from page 80)
8 slices white or whole-grain bread
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine, softened
4 oz. Muenster cheese, thinly sliced
4 oz. Cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
Brush one side of each bread slice with butter. Place on a work surface, buttered side down. Top 4 bread slices equally with Muenster & Cheddar cheeses. Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side up, and press gently. Place sandwiches on preheated panini grill or in a large skillet over medium heat and cook, turning over once if using a skillet, for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown & cheese has melted. Serve immediately.
I decided to try the Classic Grilled Two Cheese recipe a few days ago for my family’s lunch time sandwich. We love Muenster cheese but I have never thought about using it in a grilled cheese sandwich until now! I grilled up our sandwiches and let me tell you, the addition of that Muenster cheese took the boring Cheddar cheese grilled cheese sandwich to a whole new level!
