So, when craving a grilled cheese sandwich, you run into the problem of what do it eat it with (tomato bisque is m choice). I suffered from this conundrum earlier this week and decided, I just wanted a sandwich (ok, maybe two). So here is an awesome alternative to a plain old grilled cheese sandwich, hope you enjoy.
J-Rad's Grilled Sandwich of Awesome
Step one, collecting ingredients (this recipe makes two sandwiches):
- Bread - preferable is wheat or whole grain bread preferably the kind with larger slices.
- 2 eggs (white or brown doesn't matter)
- Sharp cheddar cheese (in slices, you can make do with shredded cheese)
- butter (please don't use margarine)
- garlic - minced (yes you can buy a jar of it at the store/ or use fresh if you like)
- horseradish (buy it in a jar)
- Sauerkraut
- salt
- pepper
Step two:
take the two eggs and break them into a flat bowl add some salt and pepper to your taste.
Step Three:
butter each piece of bread on one side, then place that side down so that the non buttered side is facing up.
Step Four:
On each piece of bread place the cheese (may take multiple slices depending on how your cheese is cut.
Step Five:
On two of the pieces of bread add some sauerkraut
Step six:
On the other two pieces of bread (that just have cheese right now) add some of the minced garlic and some horseradish.
Step seven:
This part is tricky, you need to close the sandwich up.
Step Eight:
(If you have a big enough pan you can do both at the same time) Take the sandwich and place it in the pan, letting it heat up and melt the cheese but not fully cook. then flip it over and do the same thing to the other side of the sandwich
Step Nine:
Take the sandwich out of the pan and place it in the egg coating both sides, then place it back into the pan. you can pour a some more egg onto the sandwich when it is in the pan.
Step Ten:
The sandwich cooks fairly quick now give it a couple minutes on each side (so the egg is cooked), then remove the sandwich and set it on a plate (if you only did one at a time, now you finish the other sandwich, if you did both then plate both sandwiches).
And now, My favorite Step Eleven:
EAT AND ENJOY the wonderful creation you have put together.
