Is it sacrilegious to make a grilled cheese sandwich in a Le Creuset skillet?
(Probably, but I'm a rebel.)
- Multigrain sandwich bread from Giant (yes, I've been ill so no homemade bread)
- Velveeta (a gift from Gayle)
- Neufchâtel cheese
- perhaps some shredded cheddar
- lots of butter
- honey
- a hint of garlic pepper
- a hint of extra virgin olive oil
Step two: generously butter bread on on one side. Put one slice of bread from each sandwich in the skillet, butter side down.
Step three: spread a thin layer of neufchâtel or cream cheese on the unbuttered side of the lid of the sandwich, the piece not in the pan.
Step four: cut enough thin slices of velveeta to cover the bread in the pan. Go ahead and put the cheese on the bread.
Step five: increase heat in skillet to medium.
Step six: put the cream cheese-laden lids onto the sandwich.
Step seven: sprinkle each with a pinch of garlic pepper.
Step eight: frequently press down on the sandwich with a turner/spatula. After about three minutes, flip the sandwich and press down more. Let the bottom brown, flip again. When the other side is brown, smear about 1/2 teaspoon of honey on each sandwich side. Let the honey cook on the bread for about 30 seconds. More than that and it will burn.
Note:
The skillet heated slow and evenly AND fit two whole and one half-sandwich at the same time. It made a beautiful sandwich, though I did burn some honey to the pan.
Served to my family with juice diluted with selzter, raw carrots and dip, and the sandwich.
