Buffalo Grilled Cheese

So I was really excited for tonight's cookbook club.....1. because it was GRILLED CHEESE night!  and 2. Because I got to use my new panini grill!!  (Thanks mom and dad!)  The recipes all give instructions how to use a pan - but if you have a panini grill, use that!  It was SUPER easy - and cooked the sandwiches perfectly!  The clean up was super easy - and the sandwich might have even tasted better on it -- hehe!!  But yeah - this sandwich.....GREAT!  ahhh I love hot sauce.....blue cheese....and chicken.....oh, and bread....doesn't get much better in my world!!


Ingredients
4 thick slices of french bread
2 pads of real salted butter
1 tablespoon blue cheese salad dressing
3 tablespoons organic cream cheese
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoons shredded cheddar
1/2 cup cooked shredded organic chicken breast
1.5 tablespoons Frank's hot sauce
Once you've got everything out, combine all the cheeses into a small bowl.  Stir together until you get a smooth consistency.  Now combine your finely chopped chicken with Frank's hot sauce and stir.

Smear on a little over a tablespoon of the mixture onto each slice of bread (or however much you want!).  Then divide half the chicken on top of each piece of the smeared bread.  Now smear the other slices of bread with cheese and put the top on the sammie.

Gently apply 1 pad of butter to the top of the grilled cheese and place it butter side down in your pan.  Once they're in the pan, turn the heat to high and butter the other side of the bread.

This cheese mixture will melt really quick, so make sure to check the brownness of each grilled cheese about every thirty seconds or so.  It'll probably take about a minute and a half once the pans hot and you'll want to take it off when it looks like this on both sides.
