Lately it seems to be all the rage on Food Network with people like Rachael Ray and her tasty 30 Minute Meals or on late night TV commercials with Ron Popeil and his “Set it and forget it” food processors to make a quick and easy meal.
The other day my friend Doug posted about bread and it reminded me of a fun food project that I documented a few weeks ago and forgot to post, so without any further delay, it’s time for project Toasted Cheese Sandwich, the perfect blogger meal.
I wanted to come up with something to share with my dedicated readers and fellow bloggers that had to do with food… hey we all get hungry and I know most of us don’t have a lot of free time on our hands, so I came up with a tasty sandwich that we could all make with little effort.
My yummy sandwhich can be made in 5 minutes or less with ingredients that most have already in hand.
What you’ll need is the following:
- Bread (Oroweat 100% Whole Wheat)
- Mayonnaise (Best Foods)
- Cheese (Kraft cheese slices)
- Toaster (Oster 2-Slice)
- Plate
- Butter Knife
Feel free to make substitutions as needed.
Ok, now we have all our supplies ready to go. The first step is to make sure your toaster is set to medium so we don’t burn the bread. My toaster is set to 4 which seems to work nicely. Now that the toaster is set, drop in two slices of bread:
While the toast is being toasted I suggest opening the two slices of cheese to let them become room temperature which will help make them soft and ready for the upcoming steps.
After approximately 1-2 minutes, your bread will pop up from the toaster, nice and warm, ready for the next step which is to place a small amount of mayonnaise on the bread as seen below:
Ok, so now we have two slices of bread, toasted and warm with a light spread of mayonnaise ready for the next step.
While the bread is still warm, it’s time to place the cheese on the bread like so:
Bam! Ok, fine I’ll pay Emeril Lagasse his nickel for using his catch saying. BAM! BAM! BAM! hehe!!
Hang in, we’re almost done. The last step is to place the two pieces of bread together, cut in half then eat:
Yes folks, a tasty toasted cheese sandwich is less then 5 minutes. It’s a pretty basic sandwich but again, the idea behind this is for people who are in a hurry and can’t spend 30 minutes or more to whip up a meal. It’s better then not eating at all.
