Instructions:

1. Assemble your grilled cheese sandwich. We like to make sure we have cheese on both sides of the ham, that way everything gets nice and melty.

2. Spread a little mayo on the outside of your sandwich. It crisps up the bread even better than butter does.

3. Cut your sandwich into the shape of a football.

4. Place the sandwich on the panini maker and grill according to maker’s instructions.

5. Find a logo you would like to print on your sandwich bags. Maybe it’s your favorite team or your favorite player’s number. We went with the NFL logo.

6. Print it, cut it out and glue it on your bags.

7. Using Sriracha (or your favorite condiment), draw laces on the “football sandwich.”
