I used slioed wholemeal/wholegrain bread, a sharp vintage cheddar with a little mozzarella added to give some stretchiness when eating and the dijon and toasted in the sandwich press so put butter on the inside of the sandwich. delicious and gooey cheese, hmmm, thank you B&J'sGranny for a great and easy lunch to make, made for ZAAR Chef Alphabet Soup. -
Made as a tag through the Pick A Chef event April 2010. My hubby said that this tasted nice but he really did not enjoy the mustard as much as he thought he would. He did say if you added a thin slice of ham to this before grilling he would like it better so next time that is what I'll do. Thanks for sharing!
