Another classic recipe for kids. Traditional grilled cheese is soaked with butter and oil and loaded with excess cheese. Instead, I use flavourful cheeses and lightly coat the bread with cooking spray. Serve this with my homemade tomato soup.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Divide the cheddar and mozzarella between 2 slices of bread. Top with the sliced tomatoes. Cover with the remaining 2 slices of bread. Lightly coat both sides of each sandwich with cooking spray.

2. Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches for about 4 minutes per side, being careful not to burn them.

INGREDIENTS
2 oz aged light cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
1 oz light mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
4 slices plum tomato
4 slices whole wheat bread
