For me, toast is mostly with breakfast ..... even if I am having bacon
and eggs for supper. But for accompanying lunch dinner plates I prefer
buttered bread to help chase down and corral errant veg, or to sop up
excess (is there such a thing?) gravy from the mash.

If I'm doing grilled cheese or a panini - that's different.  Bv)=

 SH> Oh yeah.

I was inventorying my counter-top appliances a couple days ago to see
where I could free up some of my limited counter space. I was thinking 
I could give away my Cuisinart stand mixer as I've not used it in the
past five years. But then this little voice in the back of my head said
"The day after you give it away you'll discover a 'gotta try' recipe that
needs it."

I did give away the faddish air-fryer which I used quite a bit when it 
was newly acquired but have had to dust since then. I'm keeping the old
school deep fryer and the convection toaster oven which will double as
an air fryer if I just gotta air-fry something.  Bv)=

      Title: Big Kahuna's Grilled Cheese
 Categories: Breads, Cheese, Vegetables, Chilies
      Yield: 4 servings

      4    Poblano or Anaheim chilies
           - (or canned whole green
           - chilies)
    1/4 c  White vinegar 
    1/2    Onion; thin sliced 
    1/4 c  Mayonnaise NOT Miracle Wimp
    1/4 c  Dijon mustard or Mr Mustard
      8 sl Swirl rye bread 
     12 sl Provolone or Harvati cheese
      2    Ripe tomatoes; sliced
      8 sl Cheddar
    1/2 c  Butter; softened 

  Begin by roasting the chilies over the flame on your
  stovetop (or under the broiler) until the skin is
  totally blackened (if using fresh). When the chilies are
  totally charred, throw them into a plastic bag. Seal and
  allow them to steam and cool.

  Next, pour the white vinegar over the sliced onion and
  let it sit awhile. This woll the "sharpness" of the
  onion and leave a nice sweetness.

  FINALLY, MAKE THE SAUCE: equal amounts of mayonnaise and
  Dijon. In this case simple mis better.

  To make the sandwiches, scrape the blackened skin off
  the chilies. Scrape out the seeds, too, so you'll wind
  up with big pieces of roasted green chiles.

  For each sandwich, generously spread 2 pieces of bread
  with the sauce. Lay on 2 slices of provolone, 2 slices
  of tomato, 2 slices of Cheddar... a nice layer of
  roasted green chilies... a few red onion slices... and
  one more slice of provolone just to hold it all
  together.

  Top with the other slice of bread and spread outside
  with a good amount of butter.

  Toast the sandwich in a skillet over medium-low heat
  until the cheese is thoroughly melted inside.

  Be careful not to burn the bread!
