Hot-Iron Grilled Cheese Sandwich - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
2 slices white bread
2 slices American cheese

Preparation

Heat an electric iron to medium heat. (not on steam).
Butter one side of each bread slice.
With the buttered side on the outside, make a sandwich with the cheese, leaving a 1/4-inch border of bread.
Wrap the sandwich completely in one layer of aluminum foil.
Place on a counter or cutting board and weight with a hot iron.
Leave the iron on each side until the sandwich is very flat and toasted, about 4 minute per side. (Lift the foil periodically to make sure the iron is not too hot.).
Unwrap and serve.
Variation:
Replace the American cheese with thinly slice Fontina cheese. Add a layer of prosciutto ham. Proceed as directed.
