FRIED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat a frying pan on Medium heat. Melt butter in pan. Turn pan to low heat (setting 2 works best for us, however you decided on what is best for your stove) Place slice of bread into pan and swirl it around until it is thoroughly coated in butter. Place two slices of cheddar cheese on top as shown in photo. Cook until bread is a nice golden color. Flip sandwich over so that cheese is now touching the pan with the bread on top. Allow cheese to melt. When the edges of the cheese turn a dark golden color it is ready. This may take 3 or 4 minutes. Remove from pan and place on plate bread side down. Cheese should be crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.

MOZZARELLA IN CARROZZA

Steps:

• Divide capers among 12 bread slices and spread evenly. Divide mozzarella among 6 slices and sprinkle with pepper to taste. Make into 6 sandwiches, then cut off and discard crusts to form 3-inch squares.
• Coat sandwiches with flour, knocking off excess. Beat together eggs, milk, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in another small shallow bowl.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides. Meanwhile, coat 3 sandwiches, 1 at a time, with egg mixture. Fry, turning over once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes, then drain on paper towels. Coat and fry remaining 3 sandwiches in same manner.
• Cut sandwiches into quarters and serve immediately.

FRIED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Lightly butter the slices of bread. Make them into sandwiches with 1-2 slices of cheese in each sandwich, adding any of the optional extras you like.
• Heat the oil and knob of butter in a frying pan, over a moderate heat. Put the sandwiches into the hot fat, and fry for a few minutes on each side, until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is beginning to melt.
• Remove from the pan, drain on a piece of kitchen paper if they seem a bit greasy. Eat at once while hot.

ITALIAN FRIED SANDWICHES

HEIDI'S FRIED CHEESE SANDWICH

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.

PAN-FRIED CHEESE TOASTIE

Steps:

• Butter the bread and arrange the cheese and ham over half of the slices, buttered side down.
• Sprinkle over the chives and cover with the remaining slices, buttered side up.
• Preheat a frying pan and cook the sandwiches for 2 mins on each side, until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
• Cut into triangles and serve.
