BIG CHEESE SQUEEZE

There are times (your team just lost by a lousy field goal) when our appetites should be free to comfort us without having to bow to the culinary censorship of our consciousness. What could possibly get us through the winters of our discontent like the warm embrace of melted cheese nestled between perfectly crisped bookends of toast? That's right: nothing.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 slices of bread, cut thin (as far as bread selection goes, all I'll say is the bigger the loaf the bigger the sandwich)
1 teaspoon (or more) smooth Dijon mustard
1 cup grated cheese
semi-soft combo like smoked gouda and Gruyere or Fontina with a young Asiago.
Good quality olive oil for spritzing

Steps:

  • Find 2 heavy skillets that will nest together. Two (10-inch) cast iron skillets are ideal. Heat them over high heat.
  • Meanwhile, spread mustard on one slice of bread. Distribute the cheese evenly over the mustard, season with fresh black pepper and top with second piece of bread.
  • Spritz the bread surface that's staring up at you with olive oil using either a Misto or a pump sprayer. A light coat will do; don't soak.
  • When the pans are hot enough to vigorously sizzle a drop of water, remove them from the heat and place the sandwich, top-side down, in the middle of one pan. (If your pans are a different size, this would be the smaller one.) Spritz the slice now facing you, as well as the bottom of the other skillet. Lay the skillet right on top of the sandwich. If the top pan isn't cast iron, weigh it down with a brick, can or something of similar heft.
  • Wait patiently; crack a beer. When you hear the first bit of cheese run out and sizzle on the pan, it's done. This will take anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the top skillet (you may need to coax it off with a spatula, but I doubt it). Just look at it. It's perfect. Better than Mom's (no reason to tell her).
  • Remove to a plate, count to 10 and slice it in half. Take a bite. Take another. So they lost... there's always next year.

Time 10m

Yield 1 sandwich, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 slices bread (thin slices)
1 -2 teaspoon smooth Dijon mustard
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
olive oil

Steps:

  • Find 2 heavy skillets that will nest together. 2 10" cast iron skillets are ideal. Don't use non-stick; it's not safe to heat a non-stick skillet to these temperatures when empty. Place both skillets over high heat.
  • Spread mustard on one slice of bread. Distribute the cheese evenly over the mustard, season with a twist of freshly ground black pepper and top with the second slice of bread (which you may spread with mustard or not, as you choose). Lightly spritz the upward-facing bread surface with olive oil, using a mister.
  • When the pans are hot enough to vigorously sizzle a drop of water, remove them from the heat and place the sandwich, oiled side down, in the middle of one pan. Lightly spritz the side now facing you, as well as the bottom of the second pan. Place the second pan on top of the sandwich. If the top pan isn't cast iron, weight it down with a brick or heavy can.
  • When you hear the first drop of cheese run out of the sandwich and sizzle on the pan, it's done. This will take 3-5 minutes. Remove to a plate, count to 10 (to let the cheese set up ever so slightly), cut in half and serve.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Cheese: Opt for varieties with good melting properties and distinct flavors, such as mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, or Gouda.
  • Shred Your Own Cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can hinder smooth melting. Shredding your own ensures better results.
  • Use Freshly Grated Cheese: Freshly grated cheese melts more evenly compared to pre-grated options.
  • Choose the Right Cooking Method: Consider the recipe and desired texture. Broiling offers a crispy top, while baking yields a gooey, melted center.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with ingredients, as this can prevent even cooking and result in soggy food.
  • Keep an Eye on Cooking Time: Be vigilant during cooking to ensure the cheese melts properly without burning.
  • Serve Immediately: Melted cheese dishes are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven or pan. Leftovers may not retain the same texture and flavor upon reheating.

Conclusion:

Melted cheese dishes offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures that can elevate any meal. By experimenting with different cheese varieties, cooking methods, and ingredients, you can create a diverse range of dishes that cater to various preferences and occasions. Whether you're preparing a comforting pasta bake, a mouthwatering grilled cheese sandwich, or a decadent fondue, mastering the art of melted cheese cooking opens up endless opportunities for culinary creativity and enjoyment. So, embrace the "big cheese squeeze" and embark on a flavorful journey of melted cheesy goodness!
