This very special super cheesy sandwich is fun and easy to make! And the perfect comfort dish with a great tomato soup for those cheese lovers!

Equipment

  • non stick pan

Ingredients

  • 4 slices Colby Jack Cheese
  • 4 slices American Cheese
  • 8 slices Bread
  • 2 teaspoons Mayo (or you can use butter)
  • Deep-Fired Cheetos see notes

Instructions

  • Warm the pan on the stove on medium heat (the lower heat will help melt the cheese while the bread won't get too browned).
  • Assemble four of the bread slices and spread mayo onto each. Lay the bread, mayo side down on the hot pan.
  • Add a slice of Colby jack cheese and a slice of American cheese to each bread slice.
  • Wait until the cheese melts a little bit, then add the deep-fried Cheetos (you can add 1 or 2 to fill the bread.
  • Top the sandwich with the second slice of bread, and spread the top with mayo. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bottom slice of bread is toasted. Then flip the sandwich and brown the other side.
  • Serve with some marinara sauce on the side or tomato soup for dipping.

Notes

  • We used homemade bread, and this was so fantastic! You can use any bread you prefer or have available. 
  • Try with our deep fried Cheetos Mozzarella sticks.  You can use Cheetos or Doritos for this -- both add a very satisfying crunch to your grilled cheese sandwich!
