Servings: 2 Sandwiches
Calories: 1026kcal
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread
- 2 tablespoon butter room temperature
- 3 cups total of grated mozzarella cheese or a combination of mozzarella and swiss cheese
- 5 drops food colouring -red, yellow, green, blue
Instructions
- Begin by grating your cheese. Place ½ cup of shredded cheese into six different bowls. Use all mozzarella cheese, or mix in some Swiss cheese, or any other cheese you prefer, for a total of ½ cup of cheese in each of the small bowls.
- Dye the cheese by adding around 10 drops of food colouring to each bowl and stirring the cheese until it's fully combined. To create the orange cheese use about 5 drops of red, and 5 drops of yellow food colouring. To make the purple cheese, use about 5 drops of red and 5 drops of blue food colouring.
- Next, butter the outside of each of the slices of bread.
- Lay out the bottom two pieces of bread, butter side down, and arrange the cheese on top of the unbuttered side. Crete six equal lines of colored cheese in a rainbow pattern, in rainbow order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Divide the cheese evenly between the two cheese sandwiches. Then place the top slice of bread on each of the sandwiches, buttered sides out.
- Place the sandwiches in a frying pan, and cook over medium heat. Flip the sandwiches when the first side is golden brown, and cook the other side to golden bread as well. You may want to put a lid on the frying pan, as an easy way to help the cheese melt well.
- To serve your sandwich, make sure to cut the sandwich in half, in the opposite direction that your cheese is running so that when you pull it apart you have the rainbow effect with the melted cheese.

Notes
Make your cheese even darker by adding a few more drops of food coloring if you wish.
Place a lid on top of the pan to help the cheese melt while you're cooking it.
