OVER THE TOP GRILLED CHEESE

As basic as a grilled cheese sandwich is, there are ways to make it badly (I've had a few of those) and ways to make it beautifully. This is how it should be: The bread should be toasted and crispy (hence the broiling), the cheese should be warm and melted but not running out of the sides, and there should be a little something extra to truly take it over the top. Here, a little orange marmalade adds a touch of sweetness to the otherwise savory elements.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

8 pieces thin-sliced European whole-grain bread, such as Rubschlager
4 ounces 75% reduced-fat cheddar, such as Cabot, shredded
2 tablespoons sugar-free orange marmalade
4 slices 2% reduced-fat-milk cheese, such as Borden's 2% Milk Reduced Fat Sharp Singles

Steps:

Preheat the broiler on high.
Meanwhile, assemble the sandwiches: Lay 4 slices of bread on a work surface. Divide the shredded cheddar among the 4 pieces of bread. Place 1/2 tablespoon of the orange marmalade on top of the shredded cheese. Place the cheese slices on top of the marmalade. Top each sandwich with the remaining bread, pressing lightly to spread the marmalade.
Transfer the sandwiches to a baking sheet, and broil until they are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted, about 4 minutes per side. Cut each sandwich in half, and serve.

A quick and easy way to make lots of grilled cheese sandwiches without cooking 1 or 2 at a time. Saw this on TV a few years ago and decided to make some for my daughter's sleepover. It went over well. The recipe is for 1 sandwich, but I'm going to bet all the wonderful chefs on Recipezaar know how to make more at one time.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for thick, even slices of bread, creamy butter, and flavorful cheese.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread and cheese. There are endless possibilities, so find what you like best.
Spread the butter all the way to the edges of the bread. This will help create a golden brown crust.
Cook the sandwich over medium heat. This will help prevent the bread from burning and allow the cheese to melt evenly.
Cover the pan while cooking. This will help the cheese melt more quickly and evenly.
Flip the sandwich halfway through cooking. This will ensure that both sides are cooked evenly.
Serve the sandwich immediately. Grilled cheese is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
