Divine Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Grilled cheese sandwich, you ask? Yep. I have discovered Heaven, and it is between two slices of bread! This is the grown-up grilled cheese, but my son won't eat any other kind from now on. Perfect for a quick and delicious lunch! Especially with tomato soup!!!!

Divine Grilled Cheese Sandwich  by Erin Taylor

2 slices white bread- ranch style, or the thicker kind works great! (No Wonder Bread here!)
butter
mayonaisse
grated cheddar cheese (or cheddar/ monterey jack mix is what I use)
chopped fresh tomato  (or chopped grilled red pepper would be fantastic as well)- I chop the tomatoes rather than slice them because they get incorporated into the cheese mixture nicely and don't make the bread soggy.

Heat non-stick skillet or griddle to med-high. Spread mayonaisse on both halfs of bread, sprinkle grated cheese and about a tablespoon or so of the tomatoes on one half and sandwich together. Now, butter top of sandwich and place on hot griddle, butter side DOWN. While it is cooking, butter the top side. Flip after about a minute and let the other side get golden. THe key to the perfect grilled cheese sandwich is to flip often, turning down the heat if it is too hot. Continue flipping until the cheese is melting inside the sandwich. Remove from heat, cut in half, and enjoy!

Seriously, THE best grilled cheese sandwich. Really!
