Food Porn

[wise_rita]

I just made grilled cheese with:

-2 types of cheese
-Thinly sliced green apple
-Caramelized onion

Food. Porn.

Sorry no pics, I don't have the will power to wait that long before masticating.

OMG...NOM!!! That sounds delicious!

Give me more...what types of cheese did you use? Granny smith apple or just a green normal one?

We like ours with Gruyere, sauteed mushrooms and spinach and if I'm feeling fancy, some quickly sauteed pancetta.

Colby and provolone cheese, and yes Granny Smith apple.

Damn, that sounds great.. makes me want to go buy some cheese.

What kind of bread do you use? Do you use butter in your grilled cheese?

[wise_rita]

Bread is a seedy pre-sliced wheat bread. I use butter on the outside pieces to fry the whole thing up.

DH made his savoury French Toast for dinner last night from left over Texas Moppin' Rolls (homemade cheese/onion/chili buns) and tasty/colby cheese. It's like an awesome grilled cheese sandwich. I amy have to try it with some apple next time. We have about half a dozen Jazz apples sitting in the fridge...

This thread now has me drooling over images/recipes of grilled cheese sandwiches on pinterest.

[dulcemariamar]

I have to try adding apples. We usually have a grilled ham and cheese sandwich once a week. We use olive oil.

Dorothy, can you share the recipe for the moppin' rolls? It sounds delish.

Hold up, are they the same thing? The one I used explicitly said colby on it, while most cheese available is "tasty".

Sorry I'm late in getting back. According to Kraft and Mainland Dairy, Colby and Tasty are different cheeses. I find that as well. Colby is similar to the Colby in the US, though it's paler. Tasty cheese is well, I'm not really sure what kind of cheese it is -- I think it's a cheddar variant, but I'm not really sure. I know that Cracker Barrel (the cheese, not the restaurant) sells 3 styles of Tasty cheese -- a lower-fat "lite" version (blue pack), a vintage version (red pack), and a special reserve vintage version (black pack). The special vintage reserve is what I use for sharp cheddar in recipes. I'll use Kraft, Mainland Dairy, or Cracker Barrel lite or vintage depending on the prices unless I need it to melt nicely (like a cheese sauce) and then I'll use Colby. The lack of variety in cheeses is one of my biggest complaints here. I need pepper jack!!!!

I've never heard of "Tasty".

Gruyère is my favorite, especially melted. mmmm fondue.
