Grilled Cheese Pie

[loligo]

Let me make one thing totally clear: this is starchy, mid-century comfort food, so if that's not your scene, you will probably hate this recipe. It's not so much a pie as a moist, dense, cheese-flavored pancake baked in a pie tin. (Mmmm, are you salivating yet? I am!)

You could tart this up any number of ways: herbs or spices, bits of sauteed onion, sharp cheddar, or what-have-you. I have done none of those things, because you just don't mess with the doughy, delicious perfection of childhood nostalgia! But if your mom didn't bake this for you on snow days in elementary school, you might feel more free to experiment *g*.
