Grilled Cheese: a photo exposition


Back in April, Steve was thankfully very persistent in asking for a "fancy grilled cheese" adventure. We had potentially the best thing I have ever eaten that included two slices of bread.

The secret to all this? Memorable, distinctive cheeses, a robust and fresh loaf of bread, and creativity! (Fresh herbs and a bit of cracked pepper doesn't hurt either.) I used multigrain bread from The Biscuit, a local Cambridge bakery. I was actually planning on using a honey whole-wheat before it sold-out, which I think would have been too soft to handle all the things we were loading on these sandwiches! Steve brought the cheese from Trader Joe's, and honestly I can't remember all the names, but the variety was great.

Many varieties of cheese, tomatoes, asparagus, sliced pears.
Just throw in whatever you think will taste good!
Sauteed portebello mushrooms and onions.
The pears were a big hit. I'd like to try apples in the future,
and maybe even sweet potato.
Sliced tomatoes and fresh basil.
