I was inspired by Kristine Fraser and decided I would also try making Disney World foods at home. Which is awesome because Disney foods but even more awesome because I rarely cook anymore…(I’m skipping the Dole Whip from her list, because that’s not an official recipe, I don’t care what anyone says. Dole Whip is vegan and that recipe isn’t vegan. Also, we have the official Dole Pineapple Frozen Yogurt mix which DOES make more realistic Dole Whip anyway.)
Since I am known in my family for making really good grilled cheese, I was pretty confident in my ability to pull off the outstanding grilled cheese from Woody’s Lunchbox. LOL. That will teach me to be overconfident, won’t it? Seriously. This is the one recipe that I was 99% sure I could pull off without a hitch.
Here’s a link to the photos of Kristine’s and the original, along with the recipe. Here’s a photo of mine.
It’s not that it was bad, it wasn’t. It was actually very good. It just wasn’t the Woody’s Lunchbox grilled cheese that I’ve had several times. The cheese didn’t melt as well as it should have, the cheesy filling stuff in the center wasn’t really hot, and I burnt and/or almost burnt several of the sandwiches.
Having said that – it really was good. It was also really, really rich. I’ll do things very differently the next time.
I will not put as much of the cream cheese stuff in the center, I’ll find a sturdier bread, and I will cook it on the Cuisinart Griddle so I can cook both sides at once OR I’ll reduce the heat a wee bit on the stove top. I think the mayo spread on the outside caused the burning at the normal grilled cheese temperature.
