The best Grilled Cheese ever

I am in the process of organizing and getting rid of that which I do not need in my life, at least until I have a bigger place to put it in. One of my main areas of disgruntlement is the attic. People just shove everything in, by the door, one can hardly step inside. Needing a new place for my junk, I organized it, putting everything in its rightful place; (read: shoving things aside to make a discernible path throughout, but in a neater fashion than before). Success! I then began the process of transporting crap from the bedroom to the attic. Starting with my artificial Ficus tree. Why do I have a ficus? Decorative purposes? I don't even know anymore. Needless to say, it was the first thing to go. I was taking my Ficus to its new home in the back of the attic when my foot slipped off one of the crossbeams. There was a crack and then I found myself dangling out of the ceiling in the garage. Thankfully my legs went at such at awkward angle, my left one lodged in the crossbeams keeping me from falling all the way through. I am a good humored person, so I found this incredibly hilarious, to the point of tears. Hopefully my mother will be so glad that my life had been spared that she won't mind the gaping hole in her garage.

After that ordeal I was done moving for the day, ("After one tree?!" Don't judge me. Have you fallen through a ceiling lately?). I don't really agree with utilizing food as a comfort mechanism, but I was hungry as well, so I decided to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich. Easy enough. Anyone can make one; bread, cheese, butter, cook. Really, a kindergartener could do it. But I make the best grilled cheese. Ever. Well, I did see this epic one on Man Vs. Food one time that utilized life 16 different types of cheese. That one might be better. Maybe.



Ingredients:

Bread (you can use Udi's for Gluten free, truly, the most awesome GF sandwich bread)
Mayo
Garlic (powder or salt)
Cheese (the better the cheese the better the sandwich)
Olive oil

Spread a small amount of mayo on both slices of bread, then sprinkle the garlic on both sides. For those who don't like mayonnaise, suck it up (yes, there are people like that, I know three so far...). You can't really taste it, it adds the the final texture of the awesome silky cheesyness to the final product. It will be worth it, I promise :D



Shred the cheese, approximately 1/3c per sandwich. The better the cheese, the better the sandwich. Seriously. I like sharp cheddar cheesePut one side of the sandwich, stick it in the microwave for 40 seconds, or until the cheese is mostly melted.



Put on the other slice of bread, put a tablespoon of olive oil in a hot pan on the stove. Put the bread in the pan. I like to swirl the bread to sop up all the oil. Plus, it's more fun that way. Cook till golden, take out, one more tablespoon of oil, then flip the sandwich, cook till golden on the other side.

You can cut into interesting shapes, or just the original triangle awesomeness.

Enjoy! ^___^
