Toasty Cheese Sandwiches

I'm sorry about the big break between posts. I will try to be more consistent with my posts from now on.

This weekend, I wanted to make something good for lunch, for my children and myself. I had some chicken lunch meat, some left-over kaiser rolls from the previous nights turkey burgers, and some pre-shredded pizza cheese (a mixture of parmesan, provolone, and mozzarella). Typically I would use sliced cheese for sandwiches, but I didn't have that, so I decided to try a sort of melted cheese sandwich.

I took the rolls, cut them in half, buttered one side, then added a light layer of Dijon mustard. I sprinkled the pizza cheese over the half-buns, then set them on a cookie sheet, under the broiler.

In the meantime, I took the other kaiser halves and put a layer of mayonaise on them, then piled the chicken meat on top. When the cheese halves were nicely browned (mine were not as dark around the edges as they appear in the photo), I took them out of the oven and set them to the side for a moment.
Then, I put the two halves together and ta-da! Yummy sandwiches.
