I know, right?<\/p>\n
Gourmet… Grilled cheese?<\/p>\n
You betcha.<\/p>\n
So – you start with the RIGHT bread. \u00a0You can use French or Sourdough… depending on what you want to end up with. \u00a0But the magic – is in preparation and ingredient. \u00a0The first time I made this… my family went from “oh, we’re going to have a low-key night…” to amazed and confused and overjoyed. \u00a0Seriously. \u00a0This is some good stuff.<\/p>\n
Start with<\/p>\n
INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n Fresh Loaf French Bread (will make smaller sandwiches, you’ll have to give everyone TWO! \u00a0They won’t mind…) 8 oz Havarti Cheese THE PROCESS<\/strong><\/p>\n Grate the hard cheeses into a bowl. \u00a0Large grating is fine. \u00a0I love to use my SALAD SHOOTER… works great.<\/p>\n Add the mayonnaise and the cream cheese.<\/p>\n Mix it together with a large spoon.<\/p>\n SLICE the bread. \u00a0A bit thick is nice.<\/p>\n Soften the butter in the microwave… about 25 seconds should do the trick.<\/p>\n Okay – time to assemble the sandwiches. \u00a0IDEAL way – butter one side of the bread, apply a generous portion of cheese mixture to the unbuttered side, butter another slice of bread, make the sandwich SET ASIDE on a plate. \u00a0Make them all first.<\/p>\n Then – turn on the heat! \u00a0Using a griddle or pan, turn heat to 4 out of 10… and add a few pats of butter to get things rolling.<\/p>\n place the sandwiches… intact… on the hot griddle.<\/p>\n DON’T FLIP OUT (or flip the sandwiches) for a good 4-6 minutes. \u00a0If they burn – it was too hot. \u00a0Most people try to microwave their slices of cheese on bread (meaning go too fast)…<\/p>\n When they’re done… cheese is melting… bottom is golden… FLIP ‘EM.<\/p>\n Another 5 minutes… and you’re done.<\/p>\n SUGGESTION: \u00a0Buy extra bread. \u00a0The mixture goes a long way. \u00a0AND they’re great in the microwave the next day.<\/p>\n TOMATO: The tomato… is amazing… if sliced VERY thin and placed on the bread before the cheese mixture.<\/p>\n SERVE WITH TOMATO SOUP. \u00a0You can make it from scratch… or buy a high quality organic in the green aisle at your grocery store or whole foods.<\/p>\n You’ll LOVE it!<\/p>\n Let me know what they think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I know, right? <\/p>\n Gourmet… Grilled cheese?<\/p>\n You betcha. <\/p>\n So – you start with the RIGHT bread.
