Waffle Iron Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Waffle iron grilled cheese sandwich means no standing at the skillet carefully tending grilled cheese in a skillet so it doesn't burn. Nope. Just slap some cheese on buttered bread, toss it on this underutilized piece of kitchen equipment, and dinner is as good as done.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon (1/2 oz) unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2 pieces Good bread (and by good, we mean really, really good)
- 2 to 3 ounces fontina, Gruyère, or raclette cheese sliced or grated
- sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a waffle iron.
- Butter both slices of bread on 1 side. Place 1 bread slice, butter side down, on the waffle iron. Layer on the cheese and top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.
- Close the waffle iron, but don't press it down, and let the sandwich cook for about 2 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and crisp at the edges. If you like your grilled cheese bordering on burnt, leave it in for up to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt, if desired.
