GREEK GRILLED CHEESE

Categories Cheese

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons butter, softened
2 slices whole wheat bread, or your favorite bread
2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
2 slices Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon red onion, chopped
1/4 tomato, thinly sliced

Steps:

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread. On the non buttered side of one slice, layer the feta cheese, Cheddar cheese, red onion and tomato. Top with the other slice of bread with the butter side out.
Fry the sandwich until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side. The second side always cooks faster.

Tips:

Choose the right bread. A sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings and the grilling process is best. Some good options include sourdough, French bread, or a hearty whole wheat bread.
Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the grilled cheese sandwich will be. Use real butter, freshly grated cheese, and flavorful fillings.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're making multiple grilled cheese sandwiches, don't overcrowd the pan. This will make it difficult to cook the sandwiches evenly.
Cook the sandwiches over medium heat. Medium heat will help the sandwiches cook evenly without burning the bread.
Flip the sandwiches halfway through cooking. This will ensure that both sides of the sandwiches are cooked evenly.
Let the sandwiches cool for a minute or two before slicing. This will help the cheese set and prevent the sandwiches from falling apart.

Conclusion:

A Greek grilled cheese sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its flavorful combination of feta cheese, tomatoes, and oregano, this sandwich is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal, give this Greek grilled cheese sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed!
