Grilled Cheese

We celebrated my husband's and my birthdays today at my sister's house.  There are now too many people in the family to go out to dinner, so my sisters and I are hosting each other's birthday parties.  My sister said her boyfriend deserved all of the credit for the meal today - she only did the shopping.  The menu was grilled cheese and tomato soup and chili.  Ordinary you may think, but ordinary it was not!  I am going to make the chili and tomato soup at some point in the near future so I will not post those yet, but the grilled cheese was so innovative that I have to post!

For the bread, he used Ciabatta.  He sliced it openand buttered both sides.  Then he put the bread, buttered side down, on a baking sheet and topped with pepper jack, American, and cheddar cheese.  He put the baking sheets under the broiler until the cheese was melted and the buttered side got crispy.  Then, he put the sandwiches together with the outsides of the bread becoming the middle of the bread - how creative!  They were do delicious.  The outside was crispy and buttery and the inside was ooey gooey cheesy.  He also made bacon cheddar grilled cheese.  I saved these for the boys, but they were also a hit, of course!
