Lightly Butter Fried Cheese Sandwich Recipes

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.

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.

LIGHT GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Arrange bread slices on flat surface.
• Spray 1 side of each slice with the butter cooking spray or spread with 1 teaspoons of the light butter or reduced-fat margarine.
• Preheat large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and place sandwiches in it.
• Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is toasted and cheese is melted.
• Cut each sandwich in half, and serve hot.

FRIED BOLOGNA-CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place one slice of buttered bread, butter-side down, in a skillet on medium heat. Lay American cheese, bologna and provolone cheese, and top with the remaining bread slice, butter-side up. Cook covered until lightly browned. Flip and cook covered on other side until lightly browned.

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.

BLT FRIED EGG-AND-CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat, turning, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Set the Monterey Jack slices on 1 piece of toast. Spread the mayonnaise on the other slice of toast, then top with the bacon, tomato and lettuce.
• In a small, nonstick skillet, melt the butter. Add the egg and fry over moderate heat, turning once, until crisp around the edge, about 4 minutes; the yolk should still be runny. Slide the egg onto the lettuce; close the sandwich and eat right away.

BEST EVER EGG & CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Melt margarine in frying pan.
• Add egg (don't break the yolk, but if you do that is alright too!).
• Gently fry the egg.
• Sprinkle the egg with the salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. (if you don't like hot, leave them off).
• Flip the egg over. I like the yolk to be a bit soft. Polk the yolk after you have turned the egg so that a bit of the yolk seeps out.
• Spread the Cheez Whiz on one side of the bread.
• Put the egg on the bread and top with the other slice of bread. (I like the side with the pepper flakes to meet the Cheez Whiz).
• Return the sandwich to your fryng pan and grill until golden, flip over and grill the other side. (I don't butter the sandwich before frying).
• Enjoy!
