Grilled Cheese Sand-Witches with Celery Broomsticks

Makes 4

8 slices cheddar cheese (4-by-4-by-1/8-inch)

8 slices (1/2-inch-thick) pumpernickel bread

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Celery Broomsticks (cut the bottom of celery to look like a broom)

Directions

1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using a witch's hat cookie cutter, cut out a hat from 4 slices of cheese; set aside.

2.Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter. Spread the unbuttered side of 4 slices of bread with the mustard. Place on a baking sheet, buttered-side down.

3.Divide remaining cheese, plus any scraps, between the slices of bread on the baking sheet. Top with remaining bread, buttered-side up.

4.Place sandwiches in oven and cook 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Place a cheese hat on top of each sandwich. Bake until just melted, about 2 minutes. Serve with celery broomsticks.
