Instructions
-
Prepare the Bread:
Using a star-shaped cookie cutter, cut star shapes from each bread slice. Lightly toast the bread to make it easier to handle. -
Color the Bread:
Place the star-shaped bread on a clean surface. Using a food-safe brush, apply red food coloring to one side and blue food coloring to the other. Let the bread dry completely. -
Assemble the Sandwiches:
Butter one side of each colored bread slice. Place a slice of cheese on the unbuttered side of one bread slice. Top with the other bread slice, buttered side up. -
Grill the Sandwiches:
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Notes
Use different cheese varieties like mozzarella or provolone for flavor variations.
Customize the color combinations to match any holiday or theme.
