Product Description
Homey, crunchy, warm, and melty, grilled cheese is the ultimate comfort food. Toasted golden in the pan or press, browned to melty perfection under the broiler or grill, the hallmark of a good grilled cheese sandwich is crunchy on the outside, oozing on the inside. It's a meal in itself, a midnight snack, and the perfect companion to a steaming cup of soup. At their most basic, grilled cheese sandwiches require only two things cheese and buttered or oiled bread. But the variations on this classic are limited only by your pantry and imagination. Martena Spieler gives you fifty mouthwatering combinations that will spark your creativity and satisfy that toasted cheese craving. Her tantalizing pairings range from Truffled Mountain Cheese, Rosemary, and Pancetta to Smoky Bacon and Cheddar with Chipotle Relish or Fresh Mozzarella, Prosciutto, and Fig Jam. With a brief course on the cheeses of the world, how well they melt, and what flavours pair best, as well as a rundown on the forms this sandwich takes worldwide, this is a book to make you say cheeeeeeeeese.
