Gourmet Grilled Cheese

1. 1

   Take two heavy skillets which nest (2 10-inch cast iron skillets are ideal).

2. 2

   Set both over high heat.

3. 3

   Spread mustard on one slice of bread.

4. 4

   Cover the bread with cheese, then sprinkle with black pepper and cover with the other slice of bread.

5. 5

   Spritz the upper surface of bread lightly with olive oil.

6. 6

   When the pans are hot enough for a drop of water to sizzle, remove from heat and place the oiled side of the sandwich down in one pan.

7. 7

   Spritz the dry (now upper) surface with oil, as well as the bottom of the second skillet.

8. 8

   Lay the skillet on the sandwich.

9. 9

   If the top skillet isn't cast iron, weight it down with a brick or large can.

10. 10

    When the cheese begins to run out onto the pan surface (you'll hear it sizzle), it's done.

11. 11

    This will take 3-5 minutes.

12. 12

    Remove from the pans (you may need a spatula to coax the pans free) to a plate.

13. 13

    Wait 10 seconds before cutting in half and enjoying.
