I’m craving carbs, bread to be specific, and though I can’t have this, I thought I’d daydream of cheesy, bready goodness and share the recipe for my absolute favorite grilled cheese sandwich.

Spread both slices of bread with enough dijon mustard to coat
layer one half of the cheese onto one slice of bread (with the dijon side up)
layer the garlic & parsley on top of the cheese
layer on the rest of the cheese
place top side of bread on (mustard side down)
take one half of butter and press into one side of the bread
Place in pan buttered side down and weight down immediately

Check every minute for doneness
place remaining butter on the other side (up facing) of sandwich and flip over.
