The Ultimate Grilled Cheese
These gooey grilled cheese sandwiches, subtly seasoned with garlic, taste great with sliced apples. And they're really fast to whip up, too. I like to add a couple of slices of crispy bacon to the sandwich.
Dovetailing Tip: Heat the bacon strips you cooked during Meal 1 in the microwave or toaster oven while making the spread. Assemble the sandwiches, adding 2 strips of bacon to each.

Ingredients:
3 ounces | cream cheese, softened |
3/4 cup | mayonnaise |
1 cup | shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1 cup | shredded Cheddar cheese |
1/2 teaspoon | garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon | seasoned salt |
10 slices | italian bread (1/2 inch thick) |
2 tablespoons | butter, softened |
10 slices | cooked bacon strips (optional) |
Directions:
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in the cheeses, garlic powder and seasoned salt. Spread five slices of bread with the cheese mixture, about 1/3 cup on each. Top with remaining bread. Butter the outsides of sandwiches. In a skillet over medium heat, toast sandwiches for 4-5 minutes on each side or until bread is lightly browned and cheese is melted. Yield: 5 servings.
