Summertime Grilled Cheese

We love grilled cheese sandwiches in our house. Sometimes I think we could eat nothing but grilled cheese sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner 24/7. We love them so much it would take awhile for us to get burned out on them and then we would start eating bean and cheese burritos 24/7, but that’s a thought for another day. When you eat grilled cheese on a pretty regular basis you have to mix it up a little bit so here’s a version of grilled cheese I’m calling Summertime Grilled Cheese.


Ingredients:

- Bread. You want some good rustic, crusty bread. I make my own at home in the bread machine and cut it kind of thick.

- Olive oil.

- Two cloves of garlic minced or be lazy like me and buy your garlic already minced.

- A big juicy heirloom tomato. Get a yellow or orange one if you can. It makes for a more colorful sandwich.

- 1 red bell pepper. (You’ll need about half of it.)

- Fresh lettuce leaves.

- Favorite cheese of your choice. I used mozzarella.

Directions:

- Mix a bit of minced garlic with a bit of olive oil. You won’t need too much.

- Spread the garlic/olive oil mixture on the outside of your bread slices.

- Put your sandwiches together with bread, cheese, slices of tomato and red bell pepper.

- Grill on a griddle until your cheese is melted.

- Poke some of the lettuce leaves in and you’re done.
