Uptown "gorilla" Cheese Sandwiches

People talking
To this day we still refer to grilled cheese sandwiches as "gorilla" cheese - a name our son, Jesse, gave his favourite restaurant order when he was a toddler! Half the fun, of course, was seeing the waitress' reaction! This "uptown" version has become a regular for us on Sunday nights.

Mmmmmm....this was a delicious! It didn't look great, but the taste more than made up for that. I wasn't sure what size pan to use and ended up using a broiler pan I had that was kind of a weird size. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I'll be making this again.

This was fairly easy to make and tasted good. The only problem I had was my egg mixture flowed off the bread, I put it in the oven and when it set up a little I put it on top of the bread.
