Prep Time 5 Minutes/4 Servings

PC: Silver Hills Bakery

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups cheese – I used Cheddar and Swiss cheese (both dairy and non-dairy)
• 8 slices bread – I used ‘Food for Life’ Sprouted Ezekiel 4:9/’Silver Hills’ Ancient Grains Big Red’s & GF ‘Glutino’ Cheese/’Thornbury’ Chia Breads
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, or non-dairy spread at room temperature

Sweet Fillings:

• Apples, sliced + Cinnamon + Cheese
• World of Chia Chia Wild Berries Fruit Spread + Cheese

Savoury Fillings:

• Saurkraut + Crunchy Dijon and/or Chipotle Mayo + Cheese
• Tomatoes, sliced + Oregano, dry + Cheese
• Carmelized Onions + Cheese
• Bread & butter pickles (or your favourite), sliced + Cheese
• 1/4 large red onion, sliced + 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced + 1/2 small zucchini, sliced into thin ribbons + Dash of chili powder + salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Divide half of cheese among 4 slices of bread. Top with your choice of fillings. Close sandwiches and spread half of butter evenly over top of bread slices.
2. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-low heat. Place sandwiches, buttered side down, in skillet. Spread remaining butter over top of bread. Cook, pressing down with a spatula to encourage melting and turning once, until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown and crisp, 5–7 minutes.
3. Cut into gooey slices and enjoy!
