09/22/09 		I am looking for a fast way to make 200 grilled cheese sandwiches using sheet trays. This is a very long process and i am looking for tips for making it faster.

If you do decide to do grilled cheese use a thin coating of mayo on the outside of the breads to give the crispy coating without having to deal with melted or softened butter, extra grease, etc. This old diner trick is faster.

Preheat oven thoroughly 20-30 minutes. Preheat oven to 450°F.
Lightly butter or mayo one side of each slice of bread.
Place on a cookie sheet butter side down.
Place your favorite brand of sliced cheese, 2 ounces/ slices per sandwich.
Place other piece of bread on top, butter/mayo side up.
Bake for approximately 6 minutes. Watch the time carefully, at 8 minutes they will be too done.
Take out of oven and flip.
Bake additional 3-6 minutes until done.

Crunchy outside, soft and cheesy inside, a very nice sandwich. Some possible additions; mustard, thin sliced ham, turkey, salami, avocado or tomato, tuna salad, sliced jalapenos
