Spread a thin layer of softened butter on 1 side of each bread slice. Place bread buttered side down in the same skillet. Place a slice of Colby Jack cheese on bread, top with shrimp pieces. Place Cheddar cheese slice on top of shrimp. Place remaining bread slice on top of sandwich, buttered side up. Cook until bread is golden on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes.

Carefully turn sandwich over with a spatula. Cook the other side until golden and cheese is fully melted, 2 to 3 minutes. If cheese is not melted by the time sandwich is golden, cover the skillet for 30 to 60 seconds.

Potato Waffles
These savory potato waffles are a quick and delicious way to use up those leftover mashed potatoes. You will need a waffle iron. These are basically potato pancakes (a.k.a. latkes) but without all the greasy clean-up and calories from pan-frying. I usually serve them with fish or chicken and sautéed apples.
Air Fryer Shortbread Cookie Fries
Cut cookie dough into shortbread 'fries' for a fun air fryer sweet treat served with strawberry-chipotle 'ketchup' and lemon curd 'mustard.'
Sausage Egg Casserole
Assemble the ingredients the night before, and bake this casserole in the morning. Stand back and wait for the compliments. I've made it with fat free cottage cheese, egg substitute, and reduced fat sausage; the taste is still wonderful!
