Ingredients

- 8 slices pumpernickel or dark rye bread
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Using a Halloween-themed cookie cutter, cut out the centers from four slices of bread to create spooky shapes.
- Heat the skillet: Place a griddle or skillet over medium heat and melt an adequate amount of butter to coat the surface.
- Cook the bread pieces: Place both the cut-out center pieces and the whole slices of bread in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes to toast them slightly.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Flip the whole slices of bread, then place a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Next, top the cheese with the corresponding cut-out bread piece.
- Melt the cheese: Continue cooking the assembled sandwiches for another 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the spooky grilled cheese sandwiches warm for a fun Halloween lunch or snack.

- Experiment with different types of cheese for varied flavor.
