Equipment
- Non-Stick Pan & Spatula/Turner
- Small Mixing Bowl & Spatula
- Sharp Knife/Bread Knife
Ingredients
- 8 small but fairly thick slices of Bread (something firm like Sourdough works well)
- 8 square slices of Cheddar
- 5oz / 150g Cream Cheese
- 1 tbsp EACH: Parmesan, Mayonnaise (optional - see notes)
- Butter, as needed
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl combine cream cheese with mayo and parmesan until nice and smooth.
- Spread one side of each of your slices of bread with butter. In a non-stick pan with the heat OFF add 2 slices of bread butter-side-down. Top with cheddar, followed by a dollop of cream cheese, topped with another slice of cheddar, then finish with another slice of bread butter-side-up.
- Turn on heat to medium and fry both sides until golden with the cheese just starting to leak out. Prepare the other two sandwiches to one side as these fry.
- Slice in half and enjoy!

Notes
a) Mayo/Parmesan - These just spruce up the flavour of the cream cheese a little. Nothing OTT, and probably not something you'll notice too much, but just livens the filling up. If you've got a good quality cream cheese you may not need them, they're just optional additions.
b) Cheddar - I definitely recommend one slice of cheddar, the other slice could by subbed out for something like Gouda or Swiss Cheese.
c) Additions - Bacon is always welcome, or you could make a jalapeños-style sandwich and diced bacon & jalapeños in with the cream cheese. Ham would also work nicely!
d) Calories - per sandwich assuming 2 tsp butter per sandwich.
