...you're making me want a grilled cheese. That alone is amazing since I NEVER want food. I'm jealous of those who can eat, most days I have to force myself to eat anything.

Sure, 6-8 is a lot, but I'd be more concerned if you were eating donuts. Plus, you're adding in fruit which is also something you need to up your intake of. The only problem I can think of with cheese is that it can cause you to be constipated, but up your fiber & fruit intake & that should help with any problems you may encounter with that.

The Art of the Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Quote "Sex is like a cheese sandwich. You have it every day and you're like 'Ugh, cheese sandwich'. Go without it for a week and when you have it it's the greatest sandwich in the world" -- Ian Dury Quote

I love sandwiches. Sandwiches are near and dear to my heart. So, here's one of my favorite sandwiches, the grilled ham and cheese.

Ingredients:

Two slices of white bread (I use Pepperidge Farm, since it's not as squishy as Wonder Bread)

Two slices of Land O' Lakes white American cheese (Muenster or cheddar can be substituted)

Six to eight thin slices of Boars Head Black Forest smoked ham

Optional: two tablespoons of Alouette or Boursin spreadable soft garlic and herb cheese

One tablespoon of butter, divided in half

Dijon mustard (Grey Poupon or the equivalent)

Spread a thin layer of dijon mustard on the bread, followed by a slice of American cheese. Then lay the slices of ham over the cheese, folding the ends that overlap the bread towards the middle of the slice (ideally, you want a sandwich with nothing sticking out from between the slices). Halfway through your six or eight slices of ham, spread the garlic and herb cheese over the middle slice of ham.

Once your sandwich is assembled, heat a small non-stick skillet over a medium flame. Add half of the tablespoon of butter; when the butter is spread across the surface of the skillet and starts to bubble, place the sandwich in the pan. Put a small, heatproof plate on top of the sandwich and then place a medium-sized saucepan half-filled with water on top of this so it presses down on the sandwich. It doesn't have to be a plate and a saucepan: a brick covered in aluminum foil will work just as well. Cook the sandwich for about three or four minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

Remove the sandwich from the skillet and remove the skillet from the heat. Add the remaining butter to the pan and swirl it around the skillet so it spreads and bubbles but does not burn. Once the butter bubbles, flip the sandwich into the skillet and replace the weight. Again, cook for three to four minutes. When this side is done, remove the sandwich and cut it in half, diagonally.

When I make this for dinner, I have something on the side, like potato chips and a dill pickle, some roasted red pepper and pimento olives, or tortilla chips and salsa. Soup makes a very good companion to this sandwich, especially something hearty, like tomato, potato, or minestrone.

You can substitute bacon for smoked ham (omitting the spreadable cheese layer), but it's somewhat dry without the addition of tomato slices.

You may die soon if you don't stop eating so much cheese every single day. Everything is good in moderation (well not EVERYTHING but most things).
