Heidi's Fried Cheese Sandwich image

My first culinary 'experience'. I must have been about 7, reading Heidi. This recipe was in the edition I was reading and I had to run to the kitchen and try it out immediately. Mom watched. Still fantastic! Expect something like a savoury-cheesey French Toast.

Time 18m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 slices bread, thick (preferably bakery, but sandwich bread will do if nothing else is available)
butter
enough swiss cheese, to make a thick filling (the real stuff, I suppose cheddar would be good too, but Heidi's grandfather always gave her gruyer)
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk or 3 tablespoons cream
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Butter the bread generously and layer the cheese between the two pieces.
  • Beat the egg with the milk in a container large enough to contain the sandwich and season lightly (don't forget the cheese has salt too).
  • Allow the sandwich to absorb the egg/milk mixture- turn over 1/2 way through so the other side absorbs some too.
  • This should take about 10-15 minutes so as much of the custard is absorbed as possible.
  • Drop a tablespoonful of butter into a skillet (cast iron is best), on medium heat.
  • When it bubbles and smells very fragrant, add the sandwich and fry on both sides till a lovely dark-golden-brown and the cheese is all gooey and melted.
  • Put it on your best plate, pour yourself a big glass of milk, get out a fork and knife and enjoy.
  • Note: The texture of this is not like a regular grilled sandwich as the bread becomes moist and puffy because of the egg/milk soaking.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The cheese didn't melt properly and the bread was soggy.

I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like it would be too greasy.

This is the best fried cheese sandwich I've ever had. The cheese is perfectly melted and the bread is crispy and buttery. I highly recommend this recipe.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can use any type of cheese you like, and you can add other ingredients to the sandwich, like bacon, ham, or vegetables.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The cheese was perfectly melted and gooey, and the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I will definitely be making this again.
