A Good Sandwich for a Bad Day

So the first time I made this I was feeling rough.  I forget why.  It was just a bad day.  So I let myself go.  I let myself go ahead and eat this gooey butter mess of fabulousness and forget about the fact that maybe I shouldn't be doing such things because butter does nothing for my waistline.  Now I want to have a bad day everyday so I can have a good excuse to devour this....

I'll show you how to make it too in case you need a little pick me up in the form of grilled cheese.  But lets not get too technical here people it is grilled cheese after all.

Apple Cheddar Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 apple (sliced thin)
• 1 hunk of butter
• A few good pieces of cheddar cheese, I use a mild one, Red Leicester to be exact
• margarine 
• 2 slices of bread
• 1 -2 teaspoons of grey poupon mustard 

In a pan over medium heat, add your butter and apple and cook until it has softened up nicely.  Meanwhile, coat one side of each slice of bread with margarine (duh it's grilled cheese).  When your apples are ready pile them up on your bread (the non buttered side) and then add your cheese and a spoonful or two of mustard.    

Exhibit A:

Place the buttered side down in your pan and add the second slice on top buttered side up.  Cover your sandwich with a lid while it's cooking to help the cheese reach its optimal meltiness.  That is VERY important. Make sure you flip it when its nice and golden and do the same to the other side.

Then be ready for a taste explosion of pure happiness in your mouth.

It is SO good.

When I was a kid I used to make grilled cheese with my best friend ALL the time.  We used to want to open up a restaurant that only served variations of grilled cheese.  After eating this I think maybe we should look into that idea further.  Our other employment idea for "when we grew up" was working as elves in Santa's workshop.  For some reason the grilled cheese restaurant seems more viable.
