Cajun Grilled Cheese

This recipe will take your grilled cheese from a childhood favorite to a sophisticated sandwich with one simple ingredient: Cajun seasoning. Buy it from the store or make the blend yourself with cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, thyme and onion powder. It will give your sandwich a bold and spicy flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 slices ½ inch thick white bread
• 2 slices cheddar or American cheese
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• Cajun spice blend, to taste

Directions

1. Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between 2 slices of bread.
2. Preheat a skillet, and melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat.
3. Spread or brush the outside of the sandwich with 1 tablespoon mayo and then sprinkle on the Cajun spice mix.
4. Cook until light golden brown, about 4-6 minutes.
5. Flip the sandwich, (add more butter to the pan if needed) and cook the other side until brown and the cheese is melted, another 4-6 minutes.
6. You can press down on the sandwich gently so it browns evenly, but don’t smash it.
