Grilled cheese grown up

Friday, June 12, 2009

I’m in the midst of a simple bliss- enjoying a new favorite cheese.

Not only that, it’s nestled in between slices of the grainiest bread I know and melted to oblivion. Half-n-half grilled cheese style: horseradish chive havarti and pepperdew havarti.

How do you like to make your grilled cheese grown up?

Yum! Delish!

I have been known to use brie and thinly sliced tomatoes with fresh basil, old sharp cheddar and branston pickle or gouda and slices of red pepper.

Mmmmm?sooo many choices. Anything with horseradish rates an A in my book :)

Boar’s Head ham, medium sharp cheddar, fresh tomato, and I stick in some mixed greens after it is finished cooking. A homemade tomato soup really adds to my ham and cheese experience as well.

I love grilled cheese. I lived off it through college. Any cheese is good cheese in my book!

I love many different grilled cheese sandwiches; I will often throw in whatever is in my fridge, although spinach and tomato and a good cheddar on pumpernickel is still my go-to comfort lunch. I recently made a grilled cheese sandwich with goat cheese and jalapeno jelly. It was heavenly.

Sharp cheddar cheese between two slices homemade white bread lathered on the outside with curry flavored butter.

I like to use sour dough rye with havarti or provalone or whatever is handy. I melt the butter in the pan with a dash of turmeric and garlic salt, then fry each side till it is crispy.

I’ve done grown-up grilled cheese for years. I love to use chullah (egg) bread and that same spiced Havarti or a sharp, white cheddar. I’ve been known to tuck pepperoni, sliced tomatoes (your charred tomatoes would probably taste delightful in it), baby spinach and whatever else I might find in my deli drawer into it.

My favorite: Rye, cheddar, thin slices of tomato (too thick and the sandwich gets soggy) and a very healthy slather of horseradish. And plenty of butter, of course. The horseradish loses a lot of its bite when heated, so use way more than you otherwise would. (I suppose you could apply it to the outside after it’s grilled?haven’t tried that yet.) When real tomatoes aren’t in season, skip them. Still pretty darn good.

My wife and I found wasabi flavored cheese at the Edelweiss deli in P-land a few months ago. Yowza?.
