Charmaine Haravey of Niwot, Colorado, writes: I love spending my days in the mountains. It's one of the reasons that I moved to Boulder County. But since I started my new job, I don't have as much time to hike, ski, or enjoy my other favorite activity cooking. Spending time in the kitchen has now become a luxury. Instead of making a complete meal in the evening, I prepare 'single-girl food' namely cookies, grilled sandwiches, and egg dishes. But I don't use that expression negatively. For me, grilled cheese sandwiches are the ultimate comfort food. Ingredients:
8 5x3x1/2-inch slices sourdough bread |
1 cup (packed) grated whole-milk mozzarella cheese |
8 tablespoons chopped drained roasted red peppers from jar |
4 teaspoons minced fresh thyme |
8 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese |
4 tablespoons crumbled soft fresh goat cheese |
4 thin slices smoked ham |
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter |
Directions:
1. Arrange 4 bread slices on work surface. Layer each with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons peppers, 1 teaspoon thyme, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon goat cheese, and 1 ham slice. Top each with bread slice.
2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 sandwiches to skillet. Cover and cook until bottoms of bread are golden and cheeses are melted, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter to skillet. Turn sandwiches over; cook until bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer sandwiches to plates. Repeat with remaining butter and sandwiches.
