Make a "Grilled" Cheese Sandwich in a Toaster Oven
Love grilled cheese sandwiches but hate the mess and hassle? Ever wondered how to make your grilled cheese healthier? Well, with a handy toaster oven you'll be making delicious, mess-free grilled cheeses in no time.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 slices of cheese
Steps
- Put your 2 slices of bread in the toaster oven and start them toasting.
- While they toast, get your 2 slices of cheese ready.
- When your bread is about half as toasted as you want it to end up, open the toaster oven and carefully pull the rack out a bit.
- Put a slice of cheese on each piece of bread, slightly askew so that when the sandwich is closed the whole sandwich will be very cheesy.
- Slide the rack back in and close the toaster oven, resuming toasting.
- Keep an eye on your cheesy-bread!
- When the cheese is partially melted, open the toaster again and close your sandwich.
- Put your sandwich back in for a few more seconds (until it looks like you want it to) to seal the sandwich.
- Remove it from the toaster oven, cut diagonally and enjoy!
- Finished.
Tips
- You need to keep a close eye on your creation so it doesn't get over-done.
- You can also put the sandwich in the microwave for 30 seconds instead of returning it to the toaster.
- Processed cheese slices, while less healthy, work well for these sandwiches.
Warnings
- Do not leave cheese slices on a plate in preparation for use as it may stick to the plate.
