The Famous CWB Melt

      My dearest Christopher is the most wonderful man, especially when he makes me one of his famous melts after a long day at work. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen nearly as often as it should. What with 615 miles (640 without tolls) between us from now until July (we do see each other at least once weekend a month), I had to learn how to attempt to make a melt as perfect as his. I've got to give him credit. He's a strict vegan and I am a carnivore. Yet, he doesn't mind making me a carnivorous meal when I want!

Here's how to make a CWB (Christopher W. B.) Melt:

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Cover baking sheet with tinfoil (CWB doesn't do this but I've found it makes for easier cleanup)
3. Place two pieces of whole wheat bread on baking sheet (multiply 2 by number of sandwiches desired)
   
4. Spread desired amount of mayonnaise, hummus, or veganaise onto both pieces of bread. (I like mayo or spinach-artichoke hummus)
5. Put one piece of cheese on each piece of bread (I like Colby Jack or Extra Sharp Cheddar. He likes the vegan stuff)
6. Add desired veggies to one piece of bread (I prefer red onions and tomato slices)
7. For the carnivores, add 4-5 slices of deli-sliced turkey to the bread without the veggies on it
8. Add another piece of cheese on top of the turkey
   
9. Put baking sheet with sandwich open-faced in oven for 7-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. (I like to put it in for about 8 minutes then broil on low for a minute)
10. Take out baking sheet, put sandwich together, and VOILA! A yummy, famous CWB melt. It's almost as good as he makes them.
    

    I swear Chris must put crack in his because I can never get mine to be as addictive as his but they come pretty close! When I've had a long day and wish he were here, this sandwich and talking to him make it a little more bearable!
