I found this recipe in a Rachel Ray cookbook. She talks about eating these sandwiches in Paris. That sounds nice. I just ate mine in the kitchen.
I adapted her recipe a little bit. She says to use Gruyere cheese, but I couldn’t find any so I used Swiss. My kids called these “inside out sandwiches”, because the cheese is on the outside of the bread. When you grill them, it toasts to a flavorful crust.
Grilled cheese is a classic, a staple of lunches everywhere. I had never heard of putting tomato on them until we lived near Philadelphia. A diner there served them with tomato on their lunch menu. Yum!
Tired of cooking?
Grab a couple slices of bread and a few eggs. Heat the skillet. Add butter. Pull the middles out of the bread and put it all in the hot skillet. Crack the eggs into the holes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
I felt like a kid again when I had this for lunch the other day. Something about the homemade white bread, the big glass of chocolate milk and the individual cup of applesauce. It made me remember carrying my Holly Hobby lunch box to school. The same lunch box I hit Denny Rice with. Denny was a trouble maker. He knocked the head off my snowman. Our second grade teacher, Mrs. Shaum actually washed his mouth out with soap one day. Can teachers still do that?
Simple, delicious summer in a sandwich. Who doesn’t love garden fresh tomatoes? We’ve got several tomato plants growing in our square foot garden. I’ve been a little disappointed because they haven’t produced as much as I wanted. I’m not sure if it’s the weather (it’s been a cool, rainy summer) or our gardening abilities or a vile combination of both. We have managed to get a few tomatoes off the vines and I turned one into a tomato sandwich for lunch.
