Petite deep fried cheese sandwiches that were served in the King's Food Host restaurants in Omaha and Lincoln Nebraska. I got this recipe from a friend of mine who worked at King's in the 1960's.

SERVES 3 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

6 slices American cheese
6 slices white bread
mayonnaise
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
cornflake crumbs, crushed fine

Prepare 3 sandwiches, using mayonnaise and 2 slices of cheese for each. Cut the crusts off the sandwiches. Cut each sandwich diagonally both ways, making 4 triangles.
2
Combine egg, milk, flour and salt.
3
Dip each triangle into egg mixture and then coat with the corn flake crumbs.
4
Deep fry at 375°F until golden brown.

Mmmm.... all that's needed is a recipe for King's onion rings. Some versions of this recipe substitute Miracle Whip for mayo, and crushed saltines for the corn flakes.

I have not made this particular recipe but was glad to see it so I can make it. I live in MI now but am from Omaha and these were always a treat at Kings Restaurant when I was young.

Being from Nebraska, I can tell you that these are sooo good. They are getting harder and harder to find without making your own around my area. My kids just love these when I make them. Sometimes I will put sliced deli turkey or ham in these and thats really good to. Just make sure to drain of the extra oil or they will be soggy and yucky.
