Time 10m

Yield 2 sandwiches, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 round loaf crusty bread (about 8 inches in diameter)
5 tablespoons olive oil (approximately)
1/2 lb feta
1 large tomatoes (Vine-ripened)
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook sandwiches until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. The best Athenian chicken grilled cheese sandwiches use a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and feta. This creates a complex and flavorful sandwich.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. In addition to the classic toppings like lettuce, tomato, and onion, you can also add things like avocado, bacon, or even pineapple. Get creative and find what you like best.
  • Use a good quality bread. The bread is an important part of any grilled cheese sandwich, so make sure you use a good quality loaf. A thick, sturdy bread will hold up well to the fillings and won't get soggy.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning and will give the cheese time to melt and bubble.
