I buy artisanal hamburger buns to make cheeeeburgers on the 4th of July for a family of 3. I have extra buns.
To make use of these delicious buns, I will make grilled cheese panini sandwiches on the 5th to go with organic lettuce salad and Kettle ruffled potato chips and soda.
No food waste is my American value for the 21st century. I can’t always do it, but I think I can swing this in 2026.
I am using a counter top Cuisinart Griddler Grill on its griddle side for pancakes to do the grilled cheese sandwiches and pressing down with the lid for panini.
You can cut these grilled cheese sandwiches into fourths and stick them with a toothpick as a warm hors d’oeuvres to go with drinks or with tomato soup for a light lunch as well.
Happy 4th!
