Photo: Classic American Grilled Cheese Recipe
Dress up bowls of Roasted Tomato Bisque or your favorite tomato soup with fun star-shaped grilled cheese sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 4 slices white American cheese
- 8 slices country white bread
- 4 slices yellow American cheese
- Salted butter, softened
- Special equipment: star shaped cookie cutters in descending sizes
Directions
Preheat the griddle to medium heat.
Build the sandwiches with 1 slice of white cheese on 4 pieces of bread and 1 slice of yellow cheese on the other 4 slices of bread. Close the sandwiches and butter both sides. Place on the griddle, cover with a metal bowl and let the sandwiches get a nice golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the sandwiches, cover again with the metal bowl and cook until the cheese is melted and the sandwiches are golden brown, another 3 to 4 minutes.
Using 4 descending sizes of star shaped cookie cutters, punch stars out of the sandwiches. Place on top of Roasted Tomato Bisque from large to small.

Come on...the title says it all "classic American grilled cheese". It's not "whole wheat healthy grilled cheese". There's a place and time for all and sometimes you just need an old-fashioned cozy grilled cheese sandwich. Here it is. As for the scraps - wasn't a problem in my family. Kids and husband fought over them.

THIS IS THE SANDWICH ALL KIDS LOVE. THIS IS THE COMFORT FOOD FROM CHILDHOOD FOR US OLDIES BUT GOODIES. THANKS FOR SHOWING IT ALONGSIDE THE MORE SOPHISTICATED AND OTTA THE WORLD GUYERE SANDWICH.
BUT THIS ONE IS A TIME-HONORED TRADITION AND NICE TO SEE IT GIVEN IT'S DUE.

While I loved your tomato soup recipe, I just can't serve this version of grilled cheese to my kids. Whole wheat bread and REAL cheese are easy alternatives that I know kids will eat. The stars are cute but what do you do with the scraps? I think triangles on top of the soup can be a fun alternative (& not wasteful . Sorry Jeff.. but this one needs to be stepped up.. our kids are worth it.
