Supplies and equipment: griddle (or frying pan/ skillet/ stove & burner), large bowl, knife, cutting board, spatula, mixing spoon, assorted measuring cups and spoons. Ingredients: two slices of bread, cheese, butter, two apples, one banana, one tablespoon of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of copped nuts (optional), 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut (optional). Feel free to explore different options for breads, cheeses, and fruit. Texas toast is an excellent option, but any sliced bread is fine. American cheese is fine, but cheeses that melt well such as colby, monterey jack, provolone, muenster, fontina, havarti, gouda, or gruyere are amazing. A combination of two or three of these cheeses will yield the best results.
