This one is dedicated to scurvy-endanged college students. Warning: It may still be very important to drink a glass of orange juice with the sandwich! While busy packing this week, I chose grapefruit juice to go with my perfect dairy fat sandwich. These detailed instructions may seem like overkill, but they prevent burning and those all-important vegetables from falling out of the sandwich.
2 slices American cheese (made with 2% milk)
part of an onion, diced
2 thin slices of tomato
2 slices of bread
butter, softened
Take the butter out of the fridge at let it soften while you do your roommates’ dishes.
Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread (cover completely to the edges of the bread).
Place one slice of bread (butter side down) in a frying pan.
Break one slice of American cheese in half and place it on opposite edges of the bread, leaving a small cheese gap in the middle.
Sprinkle diced onions on top of the cheese.
Put tomato slices on top of the onion.
Put the second slice of cheese on top of the tomato.
Put the second slice of bread (butter side up) on top of the second slice of cheese.
Turn the burner on medium low. (It is tempting to speed up the process by turning it up higher… but don’t do it! The bread will burn and the cheese will not melt!)
Once you see the edges of the cheese start to melt, flatten the sandwich with a spatula, then gently flip it. (This is important so that the onions and tomato don’t fall out!)
Let it fry for 2-3 minutes while you pour your glass of orange juice.
