Heidi'S Fried Cheese Sandwich

1. 1

   Butter the bread generously and layer the cheese between the two pieces.

2. 2

   Beat the egg with the milk in a container large enough to contain the sandwich and season lightly (don't forget the cheese has salt too).

3. 3

   Allow the sandwich to absorb the egg/milk mixture- turn over 1/2 way through so the other side absorbs some too.

4. 4

   This should take about 10-15 minutes so as much of the custard is absorbed as possible.

5. 5

   Drop a tablespoonful of butter into a skillet (cast iron is best), on medium heat.

6. 6

   When it bubbles and smells very fragrant, add the sandwich and fry on both sides till a lovely dark-golden-brown and the cheese is all gooey and melted.

7. 7

   Put it on your best plate, pour yourself a big glass of milk, get out a fork and knife and enjoy.

8. 8

   Note: The texture of this is not like a regular grilled sandwich as the bread becomes moist and puffy because of the egg/milk soaking.
