Prep 5 min · Cook 6 min · Total 11 min · Makes 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole wheat bread, preferably fresh
- Sliced Monterrey Jack, Muenster, Cheddar, or Mozzarella Cheese, enough to cover bread
- 2 tsp olive oil
Directions
- Warm a small nonstick fry pan over medium low heat. Set enough cheese slices to cover the bread inside 2 slices of wheat bread.
- When the pan is warm, add 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil and gently tip the pan from side to side so the oil spreads evenly. Lay the sandwich into the oil, put a lid on the pan, and cook until the underside is golden, about 2 minutes.
- Use a spatula to lift the sandwich, then pour the remaining 1 tsp olive oil into the fry pan. Turn the sandwich over and cook the second side until golden. Serve immediately.
