This magical sandwich is made with thinly sliced sourdough and classic nippy, take-the-enamel-off-your-teeth, oooold cheddar. Heat pan (cast iron, pref). Slather one side of each slice of bread generously with butta. When pan is lookin sizzly, go ahead and listen while you lay the first slice of bread butta side down. Hear that heavenly sssssssszzzzzz. Mound the bread high with grated old friend, cheddar. Squish second piece of bread over top (butter side facing your drooling self). Let the cheese ooooooze over the sides. Once it starts to smell toastie and buttery, flip it with attitude. Then, repeat on other side. Now, magic. Take your perfectly toasted toastie off the pan. Then, lump a pile more (yes you read that right) cheddar into the middle of the pan. Let 'er get melty. Once you've got a satisfyingly gooey cheese island in centre of pan, delicately place your toasty on top of it. Then, carefully....carefully....slide your flipper under the whole glorious mess. Lift slowly, steadily. Wait a moment for the elegant strands of cheese to stiffen a bit to make a beautiful, crunchy, crackly CROWN OF CHEESE. A delight for kiddos and adultos alike :) big shout out to Salli and Nate for allowing use of their awesome bacon font. Cheesily yours, jo.
