True Blood Recipe: Maxine Fortenberry's Broiled Cheese and chips sandwich

After being faced with with Mary Ann's "Hunter Souffle" I can handle this one and I knew just where to start, in France !

Now don't you dare laugh, check out the Croque Monsieur recipe below and let's change it up a little.

Maxine Fortenberry's Broiled Cheese and Chips Sandwich

*Country Crock margarine spread
*4 slices white Wonder Bread (in Dallas it would be Mrs Baird's)
*2 slices of Kraft American Cheese
*Lay's Potato Chips

Preheat broiler on its lowest setting. Spread margarine on one side of each bread slice. Place four bread slices buttered side up on an ungreased baking sheet. Place under broiler until light golden, about 3 minutes.

Remove and turn bread slice over and spread margarine on that side, then top each with a cheese slice. Place under broiler until light golden, about 3 minutes.

Remove from oven, place Lay's potato chips covering the top of melted cheese on one piece and then top with another of the slices cheese side down. Repeat.
Then MASH down with the palm of you hands (breaking all the chips) Serve.

Croque Monsieur (Broiled Ham and Cheese Sandwich)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 slices white bread
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
8 thin slices boiled ham (about 4 ounces)
3 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (about 2 cups)

Preheat broiler on its lowest setting. Place butter in a microwave-safe dish and heat until just soft, 15 to 30 seconds. Spread
1/2 tablespoon butter on one side of each bread slice. Place four bread slices buttered side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread each with mustard. Top each with two ham slices and 1/4 cup grated cheese. (You'll use half the cheese at this
point.) Top each sandwich with a bread slice, buttered side up. Place under broiler until light golden, about 3 minutes. Flip sandwiches over and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Return to broiler for about 2 minutes.

Prep time: 15 minutes
