Grilled Cream Cheese Sandwiches

By Dianewaldron

You can turn this into a dessert sandwich by using slices of banana or date-nut break and sprinkling the sandwich with a little powdered sugar. If you really wan tto go whole hog, top it with a scoop of ice cream. It's delicious that way.

Ingredients

• 2 slices of break (white, egg, wheat--take your pick)
• 1 package of chilled block cream cheese (not softened or whipped)
• Softened butter

Preparation

Step 1

Butter two slices of bread. Place one slice buttered side down on a piece of waxed paper. Cut slices of cream cheese approximately 1/2-inch thick to cover the surface of the bread. Put the other slice of break on top, buttered side up.
Preheat a frying pan on the stove. using a spatula, place your sandwich in the pan. Fry it uncovered until the bottom turns golden brown. (you can test it by lifting it up just a bit with the spatula). Flip the sandwich over and fry the othe rside until it's golden brown. Remove the sandwich from the frying pan, cut it into four pieces with a sharp knife, arrange it on a plate, and serve it immediately.
This sandwich goes well with piping-hot mugs of tomato soup.
