DOUBLE GRILLED CHEESE

TIME: Seriously?

What you’ll need from the cupboard: A large skillet and a spatula. A cutting board.

What you’ll need from the pantry: Thick sliced sourdough bread, preferably. If you don’t have it, use Dave’s killer White Bread Done Right. Whatever you do, use a hearty slice of bread, not some fucking Wonder Bread bullshit. Butter. Mayonnaise. Sliced Provolone. Sliced Cheddar.

Place skillet on stove and set to medium.

Lay the slices of your chosen bread on the cutting board. Spread one side of each slice with mayonnaise. A decent layer. Not like the whisper thin job you did with the butter on the Cubans, but not a mess, either. Just a decent layer.

Yes, it has to have mayonnaise on it.

On one slice, place provolone cheese over the entire slice. If this takes 2 slices, fine. 1-1/2, fine. Just cover it entirely.

On the other slice, do this with cheddar.

Press the two sides together, cheese to cheese.

Butter the outside of the sandwich liberally. Not margarine. Butter. Salted butter. If you haven’t tried it, now’s the time to try Kerrygold.

Jesus, Kerrygold butter is good enough to eat like a fucking candy bar. Anyway. Butter each side.

Grill over medium heat until brown, turning between 2-4 times, and/or until cheese is thoroughly melted.

Slice corner to corner.

Serve with Amy’s Organic Cream of Tomato soup. It’s so fucking good you’ll forget that it cost you 3 bucks a can.

If you’re on a budget, or conscious of seemingly overpriced organic shit, go with Campbell’s Cream of Tomato.

Be sure to dip the corners and the crusts in your soup.

Enjoy.
