BIG CHEESE SQUEEZE
A pair of cast iron skillets and a custom cheese blend are the secret to this perfect grilled cheese sandwich recipe.There are times when our appetites should be free to comfort us without having to bow to the censorship of our culinary consciousness. What could possibly get us through the winter of our discontent better than the warm embrace of melted cheese nestled between perfectly crisped bread? That's right: Nothing. I like to use a mixture of semihard and semisoft cheese here. my favorite duo is equal portions of smoked Gouda and Gruyere. Fontina and Asiago are good, too. Could you use one by itself? Sure, but working with combinations will give you the best marriage of flavor and texture. But hey, at 3 a.m., sharp cheddar will do just fine. This recipe first appeared in Season 2 of Good Eats.

Steps:
- Place two 10-inch cast-iron skillets over high heat for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spread the mustard on one slice of bread. Distribute the cheese evenly over the mustard, season with pepper, and top with the second slice of bread. Brush the bread surface with the clarified butter. Go for even coverage, but don't soak the bread or it won't brown.
- When the pans are hot, kill the heat and place the sandwich, top-side down, in the middle of skillet number 1. Brush the newly exposed bread face with butter and lay the bottom of skillet number 2 right down on top of the sandwich. Wait. In 3 to 5 minutes, you will hear the sizzle of melted cheese oozing out into the pan. (If you don't, you went skimpy with the cheese.)
- Gently remove the top skillet and use a flat metal spatula to remove the sandwich to a waiting cutting board and wait 60 seconds. You will be hungry, so at this time you may want to examine skillet number 1 for toasty little bits of cheese, which you can hungrily devour. When 60 seconds is up, you may wish to cut the sandwich in half with a serrated knife. It won't make the sandwich taste any better, but there's something about biting into that cut side that's very satisfying.

Steps:
- Use room temperature butter to grease an 8-inch souffle mold. Add the grated Parmesan and roll around the mold to cover the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place into the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan, heat the butter. Allow all of the water to cook out.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, dry mustard, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Whisk this mixture into the melted butter. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the hot milk and turn the heat to high. Once the mixture reaches a boil, remove from the heat.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks to a creamy consistency. Temper the yolks into the milk mixture, constantly whisking. Remove from the heat and add the cheese. Whisk until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until glossy and firm. Add 1/4 of the mixture to the base. Continue to add the whites by thirds, folding very gently.
- Pour the mixture into the souffle. Fill the souffle to 1/2-inch from the top. Place on an aluminum pie pan. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes.

Steps:
- In a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the butter and cream cheese. Process until fully combined. Add the cheese, milk and mustard powders. Process again until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
- Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small star tip. Pipe onto the crackers and serve immediately. Can be made a few days ahead and stored in the refrigerator, but let sit on the counter until it's soft enough to put into the piping bag before using.

Steps:
- Find 2 heavy skillets that will nest together. 2 10" cast iron skillets are ideal. Don't use non-stick; it's not safe to heat a non-stick skillet to these temperatures when empty. Place both skillets over high heat.
- Spread mustard on one slice of bread. Distribute the cheese evenly over the mustard, season with a twist of freshly ground black pepper and top with the second slice of bread (which you may spread with mustard or not, as you choose). Lightly spritz the upward-facing bread surface with olive oil, using a mister.
- When the pans are hot enough to vigorously sizzle a drop of water, remove them from the heat and place the sandwich, oiled side down, in the middle of one pan. Lightly spritz the side now facing you, as well as the bottom of the second pan. Place the second pan on top of the sandwich. If the top pan isn't cast iron, weight it down with a brick or heavy can.
- When you hear the first drop of cheese run out of the sandwich and sizzle on the pan, it's done. This will take 3-5 minutes. Remove to a plate, count to 10 (to let the cheese set up ever so slightly), cut in half and serve.

BIG CHEESE SQUEEZE
There are times (your team just lost by a lousy field goal) when our appetites should be free to comfort us without having to bow to the culinary censorship of our consciousness. What could possibly get us through the winters of our discontent like the warm embrace of melted cheese nestled between perfectly crisped bookends of toast? That's right: nothing.

Steps:
- Find 2 heavy skillets that will nest together. Two (10-inch) cast iron skillets are ideal. Heat them over high heat.
- Meanwhile, spread mustard on one slice of bread. Distribute the cheese evenly over the mustard, season with fresh black pepper and top with second piece of bread.
- Spritz the bread surface that's staring up at you with olive oil using either a Misto or a pump sprayer. A light coat will do, don't soak.
- When the pans are hot enough to vigorously sizzle a drop of water, remove them from the heat and place the sandwich, top-side down in the middle of one pan. (if your pans are a different size, this would be the larger one.) Spritz the slice now facing you, as well as the bottom of the other skillet. Lay the skillet right on top of the sandwich. If the top pan isn't cast iron, weigh it down with a brick, can, or something of similar heft.
- Wait patiently, crack a beer. When you hear the first bit of cheese run out and sizzle on the pan, it's done. This will take anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the top skillet, (you may need to coax it off with a spatula, but I doubt it). Just look at it. It's perfect...better than mom's (no reason to tell her.)
- Remove to a plate, count to 10 and slice it in half. Take a bite. Take another. So they lost ... there's always next year.
