Rolls Royce Grilled Cheese Sandwich

(This recipe was adapted from what I saw on Food Network's show Unwrapped recently when they showed how Mimi's Cafe makes their famous grilled cheese sandwiches.)



Ingredients:

4 varieties of cheese (sliced)(ex: sharp cheddar, provolone, Swiss & muenster)
Sliced sourdough bread
Grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Garlic herb butter
Sliced ham (optional)


You will also need:

A griddle






Method:

Butter one side of each of the slices of bread and press the buttered side down into the grated Parmesan, gently shaking off the excess.

Putting the cheese side down on your griddle, place one slice each of two varieties of cheese on one piece and two varieties on the other (leaving the sandwich open) and add ham in the middle (if desired).

Grill the sandwich open for most of the cooking time. Once the cheese is really beginning to melt, then flip one side over on top of the other, thus assembling the sandwich.


This is your finished product. It is heavenly. I think you'll find that the Parmesan on the outside gives the crust a wonderful crunch and a little sumthin' extra to the flavor of the sandwich (as does the use of sourdough bread).
