so here's the scenario - i don't like cheese as a rule. but i was emailed a recipe for a more "gourmet" grilled cheese with some other stuff in it (cheese, ham, carmelized onions, apple). now that sounded good so i decided to try it. if there are several other flavours besides the cheese it's much more bearable to my palette. my first try of the recipe as written was good, but it was missing something though as far as i was concerned. it was almost too sweet... so i made a second attempt with my own version - which is this one. it's super simple and has tons of flavour. it looks impressive too when you serve it, like it should be much harder than it really is. now go try it for yourself and let me know what you think!
not your average grilled cheese sandwich
white bread
gouda cheese, thick slices
red onion, 1/4" slices
ham, thinly sliced
golden delicious apple, 1/4" slices
butter
1. heat skillet to medium, medium-high.
2. put slices of gouda on each side of the bread. layer one slice of bread with ham, onion and apples to taste. cover with the other slice of bread. butter up one side and put butter side down in the skillet. let cook for a few minutes (i like mine lightly browned, my man likes his deeply browned so again - to taste). while cooking, butter the top side of the sandwich. flip and cook the other side to desired doneness.
enjoy! =)
