Friday Food Fun: Rainbow Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

When the day seems gloomy outside, there are a couple of things you can do to brighten your day - you can draw a picture or play dress up or even eat a rainbow grilled cheese sandwich!

Yes! You read that right… you can eat a colourful creation with the following recipe! You just need these ingredients:

  • bread slices

  • butter

  • shredded mozzarella cheese

  • food colouring

  • lots of imagination!

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Start by dividing the cheese into different bowls. We used 5 different colours, but you can use as fewer or as many as you wish.

  2. Add 1 or 2 drops of food colorant to each bowl and mix until the cheese is your desired colour.

  3. Take two slices of bread and spread some butter on them; this will help the cheese stick in the right place.

  4. Put some cheese on one of the slices. We made a rainbow design, but you can create any combination you like.

  5. Place the other side on top. For an open-face version sandwich, you can skip this part.

  6. With the help of a grown-up, place your creation in a pan. Cook until golden-toasted.

  7. Carefully, remove your grilled cheese. The cheese will be hot and stringy. You can enjoy your creation accompanied with a glass of milk, your favourite soup or by itself!
