Heidi's Fried Cheese Sandwich Recipe

Directions:

1. Butter the bread generously and layer the cheese between the two pieces.
2. Beat the egg with the milk in a container large enough to contain the sandwich and season lightly (don't forget the cheese has salt too).
3. Allow the sandwich to absorb the egg/milk mixture- turn over 1/2 way through so the other side absorbs some too.
4. This should take about 10-15 minutes so as much of the custard is absorbed as possible.
5. Drop a tablespoonful of butter into a skillet (cast iron is best), on medium heat.
6. When it bubbles and smells very fragrant, add the sandwich and fry on both sides till a lovely dark-golden-brown and the cheese is all gooey and melted.
7. Put it on your best plate, pour yourself a big glass of milk, get out a fork and knife and enjoy.
8. Note: The texture of this is not like a regular grilled sandwich as the bread becomes moist and puffy because of the egg/milk soaking.
