Melty spicy Cheese and persian cucumber jaffles

From Pantry

2 slices american cheese
margerine
Siracha sauce
one half persian cucumber
2 slices bread
salt and pepper
1tsp of parmesan artichoke dressing

Add ons: none
Total cost today: 0
All these ingredients can be subsituted but the point was to make a hot gourmet tasting sandwich with whatever weird things i had left. And to use those american cheese slices which are hard to make taste high brow.  The key to this was to make something in the style of the Australian Jaffle  which is cooked on the outside, on all sides actually. 2 kinds of cheese flavor amps a sandwich and a spicy kick helps too. I melted some margerine in a frying pan, browned one side of the bread, then placed between the bread, both cheese slices, the siracha hot sauce, the parmesan dressing (which again can be substituted for any creamy dressing OR a second kind of cheese) As a unit i browned the outsides of the bread in the pan turning the whole sandwich over and over while making little cucumber slices from the persian cucumbers I inherited from my traveling friend.  When cheese melted I removed form heat and inserted the cukes between the bread, sliced in half and made a very delicious, spicy melty sandwich with a crunch.
