Well, this is not only kids recipe but almost all kids like this for breakfast, there are about 200 calories on a grilled cheese sandwich, this is probably a little off… each slice of white bread has about 50 calories in it and each slice of american cheese has about 67 calories in it. So that 167 right there, but usually a sandwich will have 2 slices of cheese, so that puts you at 234 and plus butter used for cooking, you’re looking at about 300 calories overall.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich from Marty’s

(Recipe makes 4 sandwiches.)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened
3–4 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
8 slices fresh baked bread, 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches thick (Italian, potato, sourdough, cheese, whole-grain, or light rye bread)
8 slices brie cheese
8 slices aged cheddar cheese
8 slices Asiago cheese
8 slices havarti cheese

Directions:

In a bowl, combine the butter, garlic, and parsley. Spread on 8 slices of the bread. In a large skillet over low heat, place 2 slices of bread in the pan, butter-side down. Place 2 slices of each variety of cheese on top of the bread and cover with another piece of bread, butter-side up. Cook the first side until golden brown, then flip and repeat. Covering the pan will help the cheese melt better, especially considering the thickness of the bread. When both sides are browned, cut on the diagonal, and serve.

Café Confidential:

Dill pickles, potato chips, and ketchup go well with this monster cheese fest. But if you’re feeling creative, try adding prosciutto ham, salami, mortadella, black forest ham, shaved roast beef, or anything else that appeals to you.
