Ingredients
- 2 slices Sara Lee Artesano Bread
- 1 tbsp shredded mozzarella
- 1 tbsp shredded white cheddar
- 1 tbsp shredded gruyere
- 1 tbsp shredded asiago
- 4 colors of all-natural food coloring
- 2 pats salted butter
Instructions
- Begin by placing each of the cheeses into separate small bowls. Add a few drops of all-natural food coloring to each bowl and stir until the coloring is even throughout. Add each cheese, in tight color coordinating rows, on top of 1 slice of Artesano Bread. Add the top piece of Artesano and butter both sides of the sandwich.
- Grill the sandwich in either a panini press or a cast iron skillet over medium heat until both sides of the bread are golden brown and the cheese has melted; about 5-10 minutes. Let the sandwich rest for 30 seconds then cut perpendicular to the colored rows to achieve rainbow effect.

Yes, I’ve heard of her through Martha and RS magazine. This is a very clever sandwich and kids of all ages would like it. As I was eating lunch, I heard on the news that today is National Grilled Cheese Day, didn’t even know there was one, but it’s one of my fave sandwiches and this rainbow grilled cheese is perfect for the day. Good fun post! Hugs
