Brisket Grilled Cheese
Brisket grilled cheese for one is a great way to enjoy leftover brisket, in just 10 minutes! Instead of eating the exact same leftovers, add it to your grilled cheese to make a salty, creamy brisket grilled cheese sandwich.
Servings 1 sandwich
Equipment
- Small Frying Pan
- spatula
- knife
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter softened
- 2 slices bread either fresh or lightly toasted if previously frozen
- ½ cup Chopped/shredded brisket
- 2 slices American cheese
- 1 tablespoon Shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat up a small frying pan over medium heat. Spread ½ of the butter on one side of the bread, do the same to 2nd slice of bread. Place one slice of bread, butter side down on hot frying pan.
- Place one slice of American cheese on bread, then add ½ cup of brisket, top with other 1 T shredded cheddar cheese, then add slice of American cheese on part of bread without American cheese. Top with 2nd slice of bread, butter side up. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bread is desired brownness.
- Flip sandwich with spatula, cook anther 2-3 minutes. Add a lid if cheese isn't melting fast enough, turn down heat to medium-low. Check doneness of bottom bread slice. Remove once bread is toasted and cheese is melted. Cut in half and serve as is, or with a green salad or tomato soup.

Notes
- Use your favorite kind of bread, if using frozen bread, toast until thawed before making grilled cheese.
- Don't have brisket? Swap for pulled pork, leftover pot roast, or roast beef lunch meat.
- Use whatever cheese you have. Use at least 2 kinds for flavor. Mozzarella + cheddar, cheddar + parmesan, pepper jack + cheddar, etc are all great combos.
