SAN FRANCISCO GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Ingredients
• Eight slices San Francisco sourdough bread
• Olive oil spray or nonstick cooking spray
(when using grill) or two tablespoons butter
or olive oil (when using camp stove)
• Half-teaspoon pepper
• Half teaspoon salt
• A third cup of finely chopped pitted cured olives
• A third cup of drained and finely chopped
sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed)
• Two-thirds cup of finely chopped drained
canned artichoke hearts.’
• Eight ounces of Monterey Jack cheese
(thinly sliced)

GRILL METHOD:

Spray olive oil on each slice of bread. Place the slices of bread on a surface ensuring the oiled side if facing down and smear one-quarter of the artichoke mixture on each bread. Add onequarter of the cheese on top of each bread. Place the remaining slices on top with their oiled side facing up.

Place your sandwiches on the grill and put the grill over high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the downside turns golden brown, and your cheese begins melting. Turn the sandwiches over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side also turns golden brown. Continue cooking for one more minute until your cheese has melted completely. Slice every sandwich in half and serve immediately or wrap in tight foil and store in cooler.

CAMP-STOVE METHOD:

Lay your slices of bread on a surface and top each with one-quarter of the artichoke mixture followed by one-quarter of the cheese. Place the remaining four slices on top.

Place a skillet over medium-high heat on the camp stove and melt the butter or heat the olive oil. Add sandwiches on single layers (you have to cook them one by one) and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown and your cheese begins melting.

Turn the sandwiches and heat for another 2-3 minutes until the other side turns golden brown. Continue cooking the sandwiches until your cheese has completely melted. You can serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil and store in your cooler.
