Author Notes

Eating home alone is a chance to indulge your strangest cravings and weirdest eating habits -- the Sex and the City "single food" of grape jelly and saltines springs to mind. For me, eating alone is slightly indulgent but a little lonely -- this neon colored oozy cheese sandwich (a variation of pimento cheese) provides the right mix of weirdness and comfort. Plus, there's leftover cheese spread if somebody comes home and says, "You didn't make ME dinner?" —Savour

Test Kitchen Notes

These electric orange sandwiches elevate the traditional grilled cheese by way of a new take on an old Southern favorite: pimento cheese. Savour calls for sharp cheddar to counterbalance the sweetness of the roasted peppers and the punch of raw garlic. She also has you grill both sides of the bread, which keeps it crisp rather than soggy. Combined with a glass of dry white wine and a green salad, this is real home alone comfort food. - A&M —The Editors
