Bittman Bite: The Best Grilled Cheese Ever

Food with Mark Bittman is coming May 24. In the meantime, here is a delicious recipe for grilled tomato sandwich with blue cheese spread .

• Mash blue cheese with a little softened cream cheese, chopped chives, and just enough milk to make it spreadable.
• Smear a thin layer on slices of good bread.Top with ripe tomato, salt, and pepper.
• Make sandwiches and slip into a buttered hot frying pan. (If you’re making more than one sandwich, assemble them on a baking sheet and broil them on both sides.)
• Press down gently when you flip the sandwich and keep cooking until golden and gooey.
• Cut on the diagonal and serve with pickles or chow chow.
• Thinly sliced roast beef will bulk this up considerably.
