Expert Tips

Before slicing cheese, spray the knife with cooking spray to keep it from sticking to the soft cheese. Keeping the cheese product refrigerated until ready to cut also prevents sticking.

This is very good Mexican grilled cheese. I did not have cheese with jalepenos, so I just used regular American sliced cheese, but it was very good. I would make this again.
