Easy Diet Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

I gotta tell ya. For the simplest food on the planet to prepare - I can't think of something that I like better. There is something about a good grilled cheese that usurps fine dining and hoity toity ingredients. The smell, taste and texture are something that can't be beat. This chick has all the answers and the technique on how to make a kick ass grilled cheese:

I like just a thin spread of mustard in mine - it seems to make the cheese a little tastier - especially boring old processed cheese. I saw Alton Brown do it once and he used a SECOND cast iron skillet he heated on a second burner and placed on top of the grilling sandwich to get both sides at once. He also mixed a couple of different kinds of cheese to get some interesting flavors going.

In Britain they serve Welsh Rarebit - sort of melted cheese over toast, and in France they have the Croque Monsier - sort of a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. However, for a purist like me - it has to be only a couple of ingredients to be in the game - bread, cheese, butter, and perhaps (perhaps) a little mustard.

Good eating out there....
