If it’s Thursday meaning it’s Meals Community’s #ComfortFoodFest and I’m undecided a lot brings to thoughts consolation meals greater than a easy grilled cheese.

This Inside Out Grilled Cheese Sandwich was impressed by a fellow who goes by the identify of Chef John; recognized extra for his video collection than his weblog. He does easy movies with voiceovers and has a widespread viewers. I don’t bear in mind after I first heard of his Inside Out Grilled Cheese nevertheless it’s been awhile.
The notion got here to me whereas I used to be considering what to do for at the moment. My first inclination for a day dedicated to grilled cheese was to make Genuine Cubano Sandwichs…so I did. I made an enormous quantity of them and had my neighbors over this previous Saturday for dinner.
Ten adults and eight children and whereas I had made sufficient roasted pork for a military, by the top of the evening I used to be out of rolls and Swiss cheese and getting extra finished for this publish and images would require a visit to the grocery retailer. In a snowstorm. Um, no.
As I used to be cleansing off the griddle and fascinated with what to do subsequent, I loved a few of these crusty bits which can be at all times left from the melting cheese, that made me consider the Parmesan crisps I had made for this Apple Salad and a lightweight bulb went off remembering Chef John’s intelligent use of cheese on the surface so there I went and the remaining is historical past.
Some folks name what we do ‘recipe improvement’ however for me it’s extra ‘stream of consciousness.’ I’ve by no means as soon as sat at a desk and configured a recipe; I simply begin making one thing!
That being mentioned, I checked out John’s video AFTER making my sandwiches. Oh boy, would I be in hassle. However I believed it was good hassle. John insists on white Surprise sort ‘insignificant’ bread. I had my favourite oat grain bread.
His was all cheddar however mine needed to have some Parmesan and whereas I used to be at it I threw in some Monterey Jack too. Largely out of windfall as a result of I solely had a bit of every however I’ll inform you the combination of Cheddar, Parmesan and Monterey Jack was meant to be; particularly mixed with some cherry tomatoes; one other should have for me.
I’ll be sincere, I NEVER use regulation dimension tomatoes in the course of the winter however I can squeak by with a few of the little ones, they’re juicy and have some taste that their bigger kinfolk are missing and heating them solely helps. You may make this sandwich with out them too; private alternative.
This sandwich is a bit decadent however so value it. Crispy cheese on the surface and gooey cheese on the within? How may that not be fabulous proper? I used a Panini press to make the Cubano’s and it was nonetheless on the counter so it did make these really easy (Now I’m hooked and considering leaving that hardly ever used equipment out ALL the time).
However nonetheless, nothing all that troublesome if utilizing a griddle or frying pan. I discovered it best to scatter some cheese on the griddle the approximate form of the bread I used to be utilizing after which positioned the buttered bread on high. The press meant I didn’t have to show them over but when I had, I’d have simply lifted a sandwich, sprinkled some extra cheese in place and flipped the sandwich on high of the cheese.
These take consolation to an entire new degree; so good and so heat and unquestionably I’ve to present a giant a part of that to the Parm. I’ve by no means used Parmesan in a grilled cheese sandwich earlier than; now I’m not fairly positive I may ever make one with out. Add a bowl of tomato soup and I believe you could have the right meal!
