Grilled Cheese  − 8 May, 2008

I have always loved grilled cheese sandwiches. I think it's due to the fact that when my mom wasn't there, my dad would make us some for dinner.

Nowadays I don't just make the Original but have made other variations.

The Original consists in Singles Kraft slices between bread. My mom would use one slice, I use two or three for better distribution of the "goo".

The variations can be :
Singles slices with grated mozzarella
Brie with apples
Pesto and mozzarella
Singles with mushrooms
Any cheese with pears
Mozzarella, basilic and apple
Tomato slice, mushrooms and cheese
Pork, cheese and chutney
Turkey, chutney, cheese
Cheese, ham, basilic and pineapple

I like to put a slice, then other ingredients, then another slice. Everything sticks.
Fruits are sliced thinly, mushrooms are cooked beforehand, chutney is distributed evenly.

Making a grilled cheese takes skill. :)

Mmmm...Do you ever pair them with a tomato bisque?

:) They are paiurable and have been paired with : salad, soup, chips. The simplest salad is with olive oil, salt and pepper. It makes you taste the oil a lot better. Also tomato salad : tomato slices, basilic leaves, olive oil, salt and pepper. Or go all the way with cheese and add bocconcini to the tomatoes.
