Get ready for an easy twist on classic comfort food with this Halloween jack-o'-lantern-themed grilled cheese sandwich! Perfect for a quick fall lunch or breakfast. This sandwich combines the gooey goodness of melted cheddar cheese with a cute and spooky touch. You can use whichever type of bread you like best, but if you really want to stay in the Halloween spirit, I suggest a pumpkin seed sourdough!
How to Prepare a Jack-o'-lantern Inspired Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Preheat your sandwich press. Additionally, you could also grill your sandwich in a pan, but since you'll be cutting holes in one of the slices of bread, the melted cheese would come out. So if you decide to use a pan, grill the bread with the holes by itself beforehand.
Cut out a jack-o'-lantern in one of the slices of bread with a knife. Then butter both of the outsides of the slices of bread.
Spread the dijon mustard on the slice of bread without the holes, then put the grated cheddar cheese on top. Place the bread with the jack-o'-lantern holes on top, and place the sandwich in the sandwich press.
Grill the sandwich until the cheese has fully melted, and is nice and gooey, and the bread has become crispy on the outside.
Remove your Halloween themed grilled cheese from the grill, and serve. Enjoy!
