While watching Diners Drive-ins and Dives I heard the words “5 Cheese Easy Grilled Cheese Sandwich”. Ah, it seems like I haven’t had a grilled cheese sandwich in ages, not to mention a gluten free grilled cheese sandwich. My husband calls this sandwich The Widow Maker (high fat, high cholesterol, high sodium) - though he ate half my sandwich, after stating he was only going to have a couple of bites. I say everything in moderation. Time for lunch or a midnight snack? Check out this recipe and make you and your family some easy gluten free sandwiches and eat at your own risk! It’s super crunchy!
I believe melted cheese is heaven sent, but with the added texture of a crunchy bread, it's out of this world!
Ingredients
- 2 slices gluten free bread
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 Tablespoons Kraft grated Parmesan & Romano cheese, or freshly grated
- 1 slice cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
- 1 slice monterey jack cheese, thinly sliced
- 2 slice (if from small round) mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
Directions
- Melt butter in a small glass container or cup.
- Add garlic powder and whisk together.
- Add grated cheeses to a plate.
- Baste back of bread with butter/garlic spread and dip in grated cheese.
- Preheat a non-stick pan to medium-high heat and place each slice of bread, butter and cheese side down; between the 2 slices, top with cheeses.
- Cook until bread is golden brown on the bottom; cover until cheese melts thoroughly.
Tips
(1) Skip the garlic for kids. (2) Go lightly on the grated cheese, unless you like a lot of salt. (3) You may have some left over depending upon the size of your bread.
