Recipe: Rainbow Grilled Cheese

Hey readers,

Happy Grilled Cheese Month! Check out this colourful and yummy grilled cheese recipe.

You can also find the recipe here. Always ask an adult for help in the kitchen!

You’ll need:

• 8 slices of bread
• Butter
• 4 slices provolone cheese (or any cheese you like)
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• Food dye

How to make:

1. Butter one side of each slice of bread and set aside.
2. Place 1/4 cup of cheese in 4 different bowls and add your choice of food coloring, like red, yellow, blue, and red and blue in one to make purple.
3. Stir the dye into the cheese until fully coated.
4. Put slices of your choice of cheese slices in half and place on each slice of the bread – on the unbuttered side.
5. Sprinkle the 1-2 tablespoons of the colored cheese in “lines” or strips on top of the slices.
6. Put two slices of bread together to make a sandwich and place in a frying pan over medium heat.
7. Cook until golden brown (or for about 2 minutes) and then flip.
8. Remove from pan and serve.

Enjoy!
