Has anyone made a grilled cheese using laughing cow?

I was going to do it w/ a slice of cheese cut in half on each side of my bread then the laughing cow in the center....but I refuse to eat fat free cheese slices so the cheese will add another 70 calories. I like my grilled cheese CHEESEY!

Trust me, 1 slice for me is a HUGE improvement! So by adding in the laughing cow it will be cheesier thus satisfy my gooey grilled cheese fix.

Anyone else do this?

Plus I have the dinner calories to spare even before I exercise. But if anyone has done it w/ only laughing cow...what did ya think?! Did it hold at all?

Oooh...ya know what, I have some reduced fat shredded mozz too....maybe I will use that instead of a cheese slice!

BTW-does anyone else LOVE Blake Shelton and his "She wouldnt be gone" song? I'm listening to it right now!:love::love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

    I will!

    I decided to do 1 wedge of french onion laughing cow spread evenly on 1 slice of bread then 1/4 cup reduced fat mozzerella on top of the laughing cow followed by the top slice of bread.

    Using the 2 slices of whole grain white
    1 wedge of laughing cow
    1/4 cup reduced fat mozz
    2 tsp margarine on reverse sides for grilling

    the calorie count is 395g


    Not awful considering what a "bad for you" grilled cheese comes in at!


    Im sure if you dont mind fat free slices that would lower the fat/calories

    So would not using margarine

    but then, it would not do it for me as a "grilled cheese"

    Serving this with 1cup campbells select harvest tomato and basil soup!

    Yummy!

    the fat free kraft slices are soooo cheesy and they melt soo good -- i only need one but here is the calorie count for using two slices -- the best low fat grilled cheese -- use brummel and brown margarine and sara lee 45 and delightful bread


    Kraft Singles - American Fat Free Slices, 2 slices
    Sara Lee - 45 Calories and Delightful Wheat Bread, 2 slices
    Brummel & Brown - Yogurt Spread, 1 Tbsp
    total: 195 cals; 22g carbs ; 6g fat;

    Ok...it was FANTASTIC!!!!!!

    I know the cals are on the high side but not for dinner!

    The french onion laughing cow w/ lite mozz was TO DIE FOR!:love::love: :love: :love:

    Fiance' LOVED it and normally him+healthy food ="nope, not gonna happen"

    I would swap out the whole grain white for wonder lite to reduce cals but the bread I used was in fact, PERFECT for grilled cheese, nice and dense.....yummy yummy yummy:love::love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

    Sure to be a regular for us!
