Preparation
Step 1
1. Choose Good Bread. You want to pick a bread that’s first. Health breads or seven grain are often your best bet; if your dining hall has a good, hearty white bread, use that, but avoid all smushy breads for best results.
2. Toast. First, give your bread a light toast. You want to get it just slightly crusty and golden so that it crisps up better later.
3. Butter. Generously spread softened butter on one side of each slice. If you’re feeling indulgent, you can spread butter on both sides of each slice. But only if you’re feeling indulgent.
4. Cheese. Dining halls have a variety of cheese on offer, but you’ll have to look around. The deli station should have a good variety of sliced cheese; try jack, munster, swiss, or cheddar slices. You may also have good luck at the salad bar, where you can find shredded cheese, another good option. You can always gild the lily with a sprinkling of grated Parmesan from the pasta station. Load the slices of bread with cheese, leaving the buttered sides facing out. Press them together.
5. Grill. Stick the sandwich on the George Foreman or other electric grill. Close the top and let cook for 3-5 minutes, until the outside is crusty and brown and the cheese is melted. If you don’t have a George Foreman, you can do this in a preheated pan–cast iron works great
