So, I have this thing about grilled cheese sandwiches...Maybe it's my love of cheese and carbs. And while there is something so charming about two pieces of Wonder bread with a slab of American "cheese" in the middle, I'd like to think I'm a little classier than that. I sound like a snob. Great.
Anyway, in college I discovered the joys of cooking with a George Foreman grill and my grilled cheeses were never the same. I concocted a mozzarella and pesto version that became a bit of a staple for me. Just yesterday, I was eating my salad covered in delicious blue cheese and thought, "This needs to be melted and gooey between some kind of fancy pants bread." So here's what I'm thinking...blue cheese and bacon, with a little walnut oil. It sounds a little crazy, but I have a feeling it could work out well. I'll have to break out the George this week and let you know.
I am trying this for lunch tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteOMG! Amish Blue and Applewood bacon! Didn't have the fancy-pants bread, but the country white bread worked great. Melted the blue cheese first, then spread it on the bread, added a little grated mozzarella and grilled it in the bacon drippings. Awesome!
