Steps:
- Heat a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
- Spread one side of each piece of bread with a small amount of softened butter. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan on each slice so it sticks to the butter. Turn one piece over and sprinkle the mixed cheese on top (this will be the filling). Place the other piece of bread on top, with the Parmesan side facing up.
- Carefully transfer the sandwich to the skillet and cook on both sides until the middle filling is melted and gooey. Watch carefully so the surface doesn't burn; it should be a nice deep golden brown. Slice in half and dig in!

CRISPY CHEESE - (A LA SHADY GLEN)
Too easy! One ingredient! This was inspired by the crispy cheese hanging off the renowned cheeseburgers at Shady Glen, the burger/dairy restaurant in Manchester, CT. In fact, I understand they used to sell just a basket of crispy cheese. I like to snack on it, but it would also make a terrific garnish for fancier soups, salads, etc. I have done this with Cheddar (my favorite), Jack, Parmesan and American, all with good results. On the one hand, it seems to be one of those "guilty pleasures." On the other hand - read the last cooking note at the bottom... Added Note: Although I was inspired by Shady Glen, I just found out the Italians have been doing this for years, and it is called "Frico". Some versions are baked, and it can be molded while warm, say to make a dish to hold olives, or to eat like a taco or tortilla, or it can be used to garnish fancy salads and more.

Steps:
- Preheat a nonstick frying pan on a medium-high heat.
- Place a single layer of cheese in the hot pan. It will melt and then become crispy.
- After it turns "golden" on one side, flip carefully with a spatula onto the other side.
- When golden, remove onto paper towels to blot the excess oil. (American cheese doesn't seem to need blotting.).
- I like to eat this dipped in ketchup.
- Misc:.
- Sometimes, I just cook it on one side until brown, and don't bother turning. It's chewier that way, also terrific. (But don't blot the melted, unfried side.).
- Yes, this does seem a bit decadent. But, I usually make this with cheddar, and it really does seem like a Lot of the oil is left behind. It may be a bit delusional, but I am guessing we are frying some dairy protein, and this is actually healthier than eating plain cheese. What do you think?

CRISPY CHEESE AND BACON POTATOES
Oh man. This is hard to stop eating. So good. I cooked my potatoes on top of the stove in butter and added the rest of the ingredients toward the end. It was a lot easier and shortened the cooking time tremendously. Recipe courtesy of Barefeet in the Kitchen.

Steps:
- Spread the bacon strips across a large rimmed baking sheet pan and place on the middle rack of a cold oven. Set the temperature to 400 degrees. Set a timer for 16 minutes and check the bacon. Remove it from the oven when it is as crisp or crunchy as you like.
- While the bacon is cooking, peel and chop the potatoes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. There should be 2 to 3 tablespoons of bacon grease left on the tray. If there is more than that, drain off a bit. Put the potatoes on the tray and toss with tongs to thoroughly coat them in the bacon grease. (I cooked mine in butter--personal preference).
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes. Stir well and bake another 20 minutes. Stir again, making sure that none of the potatoes are sticking to the tray. Bake another 15 minutes.
- Chop the bacon into small pieces. Remove the potatoes from the oven, stir again, and sprinkle generously with shredded cheese and chopped bacon.
- Return the tray to the oven and bake an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Top with sliced green onions just before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or fontina.
- Grate the cheese finely so that it melts evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the cheese. This will prevent it from getting crispy.
- Fry the cheese over medium heat so that it doesn't burn.
- Flip the cheese halfway through frying so that it cooks evenly.
Conclusion:
Crispy cheese is a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and toppings. With a little practice, you can make crispy cheese that is perfect for any occasion.
