GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH (4 sandwiches) The grilled cheese sandwich is probably the most popular hot American sandwich after the hamburger. Sliced tomatoes and crisp bacon or ham are traditionally added. But it can also be dressed up with an interesting topping like mango chutney, salsa verde, Tapenade, or apricot mustard. Lay out on a work surface: 8 slices white sandwich bread or other bread of your choice, crusts removed if desired Top 4 slices of bread with: 1 pound thinly sliced or grated Cheddar, American, or fontina cheese Top with the remaining bread and press together gently. Heat in a large skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides: 3 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon vegetable oil Add the sandwiches, in batches if necessary, and cook, turning once, until the outside is golden brown and the cheese is just melted and has started to ooze slightly, 7 to 8 minutes. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve hot.
