Welsh Rarebit

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup grated cheese (your choice, but it must be cheese, not processed stuff)
  • 1-3 teaspoons mustard powder.
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup beer (English beer if you can get it, if not, anything but mass-produced US beer)

 

Directions:

  1. Mix the first three ingredients and add enough beer to make a paste.
  2. Spread the paste on already toasted bread and put in the broiler until brown and bubbling.
  3. Remove and cool for a minute or two.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

 

Directions:

  1. Start with a couple slices of day-old Italian bread (either real stone-baked deli or home baked)
  2. Brush the tops with extra virgin olive oil and crushed garlic and then grill them top down in a medium hot skillet. Shake the bread to avoid burning the garlic (if it is going brown, giving it a pungent odor).
  3. Remove the slices and, with the top side up, brush them with a small amount of marinara sauce and lay slices of fresh mozzarella cheese over them.
  4. Place under a broiler until the cheese begins to bubble and specks of brown begin to appear in the cheese.

 

Serve hot with a side of olive oil and fresh ground black pepper, preferably with a glass of Chianti or a dry Sicilian red wine.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Americana style, is to use MARGARINE (butter burns too easily) on the outside...cook 1 minute with the margarine side down...turn over, cook 1 minute...turn back over, put 2 slices of CHEESE, not processed blasphemy, and join the bread, then SQUISH down with a spatula; turn a time or two and cut in half with the spatula while still in the pan.
MY idea of grilled cheese sandwich, however, is to take a soft baguette of French bread...slice diagonally...spread ricotta cheese, add a thinly-sliced tomato with a simple marinade of Italian herbs, salt and pepper, and run through the broiler for a minute or two. Sprinkled parmesan or Romano is a nice topping.

Baked Cheese Sandwich

Directions:

  1. Turn the oven on to 350 degrees.  No need to preheat; just turn it on.
  2. Get two slices of bread and put 1-2 slices of cheese between the bread. How much cheese you want to use is up to you.
  3. Butter both sides of the sandwich (that is, use a butter knife to spread butter over the top and bottom of the sandwich).
  4. Stick it on a tray (preferably on top of some aluminum foil to avoid stickiness on the pan) and then stick it in the oven.
  5. Bake for approximately 7 minutes. Then, take it out and flip it over.
  6. Turn the oven down to 325.
  7. Put the sandwich back in and cook it for another 5 minutes.

Bruschetta

Directions:

Finely, finely, mince some garlic in a blender. Add some fresh herbs; rosemary, thyme in particular.  Add some extra virgin olive oil and mix well until blended. Add some good quality parmesano reggiano cheese that is finely grated. (Use some good quality Italian bread. I got some excellent rosemary-garlic sourdough at the store yesterday and plan on making this tonight.)  Drizzle the oil/herb/cheese mixture over the bread. Add some fresh basil leaves, some fresh mozzarella cheese (the kind you buy in ball form).
