The Frenchee (sandwich) hails from the great state of Nebraska. First created by King's Food Host Restaurant which is no longer in business. Here is an artery-cloggin' version that my dad loves and makes when my mom isn't looking.

Cheese Frenchee image

I'm originally from Nebraska, and when I was a kid, there was a chain of restaurants called, "Kings Food Host". They made a sandwich that was incredible, called a "Cheese Frenchee".

3/4 c flour

Steps:

  • 1. Make 3 sandwiches using 2 slices of bread spread with Miracle Whip or mayo (Kings used Miracle Whip), and 2 slices of American cheese for each sandwich. Cut the crusts off, and then slice each sandwich diagonally, to make 4 triangles.
