Pan Fried Toasted Cheese Sandwich with Truffle Oil (so cheesy, no food pun needed)

Last week I was lucky enough to have the most amazing gift bestowed upon me. A work colleague of mine had spent a week in Melbourne and kindly brought me back a bottle of black truffle oil. 





As that particular day at work ended up being quite busy, in times of stress I sniffed at the oil like it was smelling salts (your brain really can't comprehend that anything stressful could be happening when it is faced with an aroma so crazily pungent and delicious).  Anyway, as it was my first time ever using black truffle oil, I thought I would start really simple. And since I decided to cook with it on a Sunday, it made sense after being at church and worshipping Jesus, to go home and cook with cheesus.

Here's What You'll Need:

  • 2 slices of bread (I used a light rye)
  • Vintage Cheddar cheese
  • Black Truffle Oil
 Fry the bread in a pan in the oil (only fry one side of each slice) until browned. Flip one slice over, add the sliced cheese and put the other slice of bread on top. Continue frying sandwich until the bread has browned and cheese has melted. I accompanied the toastie with a cup of tea in a fancy tea cup, because I'm a lady (although seeing me eat you probably wouldn't think so). Best eaten with eyes closed, to experience maximum deliciousness.
