Cooking Games: Grilled Cheese


It is truly a staple in many households. The grilled cheese sandwich is easy to cook and even easier to enjoy. Making a grilled cheese sandwich does involve using a hot pan or griddle so be sure a parent know what you’re up to and be extra careful.

Ingredients for Cooking Games
  • Bread
  • Butter or Margarine Spread
  • Cheese
  • Ham or other sandwich items if preferred.
Cooking Game Instructions
To make a grilled cheese, start by heating up the skillet or griddle. Spread butter on one side of a piece of bread. Flip the bread onto the heated griddle with the butter side down. Place one or two pieces of cheese on the bread. Most use American cheese, but you can use cheddar or Swiss as well.

Butter the other piece of bread and place it on top of the sandwich with the buttered side facing out. The sandwich will need to cook on one side for a few minutes. Lift a corner from time to time to see if it’s brown. Your griddle should be heated to a medium setting. A high setting will burn the sandwich.

Once your grilled cheese sandwich is brown, very carefully use a spatula to flip it over in the skillet. Allow the new side enough time to cook as well. When the second side is brown as well, scoop the sandwich out of the skillet and put it on a plate. Throw on some of your favorite chips, fruit and maybe a pickle. Enjoy!

A good story

GK Chesterton: “The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.”

Voila: www.tastingtoeternity.com. This book is a poetic view of 30 of the best loved French cheeses with an additional two odes to cheese. Recipes, wine pairing, three short stories and an educational section complete the book.

From a hectic life in New York City to the peace and glories of the French countryside lead me to be the co-founder of www.fromages.com. Ten years later with the words of Pierre Androuet hammering on my brain:

“Cheese is the soul of the soil. It is the purest and most romantic link between humans and the earth.”

I took pen and paper; many reams later with the midnight oil burning Tasting to Eternity was born and self published.

I believe cheese and wine lovers should be told about this publication.

Enjoy
