🧀 Perfect Grilled Cheese with Harrison Ford’s Twist

Ingredients (makes ~2 sandwiches)

• 4 slices sturdy bread (whole wheat, multigrain, sourdough)

• ~1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded (best melt)

• 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced and patted dry

• 1–2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (the savory twist)

• 2 tbsp butter (softened) or mayonnaise (for extra crispy browning)

• Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

• Optional: smoked cheddar for deeper flavor

Instructions

1. Prep the Bread & Cheese

   • Choose a hearty bread so it won’t get soggy.

   • Grate the cheddar from a block — it melts better than pre‑shredded.

   • Pat tomato slices dry to keep the sandwich crisp. cooking art

2. Assemble the Sandwich

   • Lay out two slices of bread.

   • Sprinkle half the cheese evenly across each slice.

   • Place tomato slices on top of the cheese.

   • Drizzle lightly with Worcestershire sauce (this adds savory depth). cooking art

   • Add a little black pepper if you like.

   • Top with the remaining cheese and add the other slice of bread. cooking art

3. Butter & Grill

   • Spread softened butter or mayonnaise on the outside of both bread slices (mayo browns beautifully).

   • Heat a skillet over medium heat.

   • Place the sandwich in the skillet and press gently with a spatula.

   • Cook about 3–4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted. cooking art

4. Serve

   • Let rest ~1 minute, then slice diagonally and enjoy while warm.

   • Pairs great with tomato soup, chips, or a fresh salad. cooking art
