Ok - So this sounds very VERY simple - I mean, come on it's grilled cheese, how hard can it be? And it's not hard, but this just has a few extra ingredients that make all the difference - Sorry white bread and american cheese, NOT THIS TIME!!
The Best Grilled Cheese EVER
2 slices of bread (I like either wheat or potato bread)
1/4 - 1/2 C mixed blend colby-jack shredded cheese
1-2 oz reduced fat cream cheese
1/2 of a Roma Tomato, small diced
Garlic Salt (or salt and garlic powder)
Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
1 T butter
Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter. If using regular cream cheese, cut a few strips and place them on the non-buttered side of one piece of bread. Top with tomatoes, galic salt, and pepper. Add shredded cheese on top and place remaining bread on top, butter side out. Heat a little butter in a saute pan over low to medium heat (if you cook it too high, you burn the outside before you give the cheese enough time to melt) and put your sandwich in. Flip it once, if the pan is drying out and your sandwich starts to stick, add a bit more butter and swirl it around so it gets underneath the bread. Pull it out once it's golden on both sides, cut diagonally (I don't know why this is important, but it just is - maybe it's a nostalgia thing). EAT IMMEDIATELY. I mean, try and make it to the table, but it's so good you might not get there in time...
I made up this recipe on a whim for a hungry ex-boyfriend, scouring my 'fridge for anything "MAN-friendly", and decided on grilled cheese. But being as I am, well, ME, I couldn't just make an ordinary grilled cheese - it just wouldn't be right. So I crafted up this lil' beauty, and while the relationship fizzled, the recipe holds strong!! Still the BEST GRILLED CHEESE EVER!
