The Greatest Grilled Cheese Ever!

I love cheese. Forget crackers - they get in the way. Just give me cheese.

And of course I love grilled cheese, and trust me this is the way to grill your cheese. The only thing I will change next time I make it, is to use thicker bread. I used regular, sliced wholegrain bread but it was really too thin and fell apart. Next time, I will use thicker, granary style bread.

Take your nice thick slices of bread and spread honey on one side. On top of one slice, on the honey side, put some sliced roma tomato (our homegrown heirloom ones are delicious), some slices of fontina, some fresh basil leaves, and some sliced buffalo mozzarella. Put the other honey slice on to make your sandwich.

Spray the outer sides of the bread with butter cooking spray. (You can spread butter on them before you make the sandwich but I found this to be much easier).

You can then cook these in a fry pan, but a George Foreman grill saves time and is easier. Grill until you have a flavorful, cheesey sandwich.

The honey adds a very surprising and pleasant sweetness to counter the cheese and basil.
