Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (preferably white or wheat)
- 2 cups of Cheddar Cheese shredded (or cheese slices)
- 4 tbsp soft butter
- Halloween cookie cutters (in pumpkin, ghost or other spooky form)
- Tomato soup for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Place 4 slices of bread on the counter. Cut out spooky shapes using your Halloween cookie cutter from the center of each slice (pumpkins, ghosts, or bats work best). Those are the outside slices of your eerie grilled cheese sandwiches, just FYI.
- Butter the Bread: Lightly butter one side of each piece of bread, even the cut-outs. Get it so the butter is over all of the top for really well browned and crispier.
- Assemble the sandwiches: On each of the 4 slices, butter it with sides.
- For Heat Mixture: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium. Put some shredded cheese or a slice of cheese or use according to your preferences. Place a scary-cutout top slice of bread, butter side up, over each sandwich.
- Cook the Grilled Cheese: Toast the sandwiches on one side for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and cheese starts to melt. Flip each sandwich, being careful not to lose any delicious cheese out the side, and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until crispy and that beautiful melty goodness is drooling.
- Serve: Now that your spooky grilled cheese sandwiches are cooked through, serve them hot with a side of tomato soup for dipping or devour them by themselves for lunch or dinner.
Tips and Variations:
- Spooky Cutouts: If you don't have Halloween cookie or shudder playdough cutters, use a sharp knife to cut out basic, spooky shapes like Jack-o'-lantern faces, eyes, and jagged mouths. You can use cheddar or try mozzarella, American, or a combo of cheeses for more or less flavor.
- Healthy Spin: Place some sliced veggies, such as tomatoes or spinach, in the sandwich for additional nutrients. Add some salty and savory grilled cheese dippers to tomato soup, ketchup, or other tasty dipping sauces in the shape of ghosts and ghouls.
- More Halloween-Deadly: Spruce up the scary shapes by sticking black olives or edible eyes to your Halloween cutout for an even spookier twist.
- Kid Friendly: Get them in on the action by letting them pick out their favorite spooky shape or help make up the sandwiches. It expands your creativity in the kitchen.
