If you love cheese and sandwiches, you might want to try making a grilled-cheese sandwich. There are many types of cheese available, including Provolone, Comte, and Mozzarella. Learn how to make the perfect grilled cheese by following these tips. There are many ways to prepare a grilled cheese sandwich, so read on to get the perfect taste for your next sandwich. You can make this delicious snack at home with a few simple ingredients!
Mozzarella
If you’re craving a gourmet sandwich, try a grilled cheese with mozzarella. This tasty sandwich combines melted mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and homemade walnut pesto. To make your own pesto, you’ll first blend basil, garlic, walnuts, Parmesan cheese and olive oil. Once the pesto is smooth, add enough olive oil to slickly glide the bread across the pan. Then, cover the pan to trap in the heat. After 3-4 minutes, your sandwich is ready.
Comte
If you haven’t tried a Comte grilled cheese yet, you’re missing out! The cheese is made from cow’s milk from the French Jura Massif region and comes from Montbeliardes. Each Montbeliarde cow has at least 2.5 acres of pasture to roam around. This region is known for its diverse grasses and wildflowers. It is even possible to find over 400 varieties of wildflowers growing in the area! The cows graze on these pastures and are fed hay during the summer months.
Appenzeller
If you love grilled cheese, you’ll enjoy an Appenzeller grilled cheese sandwich. Appenzeller cheese is a type of Swiss cheese that has been handcrafted for 700 years in the Appenzeller region of Switzerland. With a fruity tang, the cheese pairs well with fresh fruit and melts beautifully. It has a delicate taste that can be complemented by other flavors. It’s also made from unpasteurized cow’s milk and ages for 90 days, giving it a savory flavor that will compliment any dish.
Provolone
If you have never tried provolone in a grilled cheese, you’re in for a treat. Provolone is an Italian semi-hard cheese, sometimes shaped like a ball or tube and with a waxy rind. There are three types of provolone, including American deli, piccante, and piquante. American deli provolone is mild in flavor; piccante is sharp, spicy, and a little buttery.
Dijon mustard
If you are looking for an easy way to jazz up your grilled cheese, try spreading Dijon mustard on each slice of bread. The mustard should be spread thinly over both slices of bread. You can add more flavors to your sandwich by smearing a little red pepper flakes, chopped garlic, or dried thyme on one side of each slice. To cook the grilled cheese, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, lay each sandwich in the pan. Cook each side until the bread is lightly toasted and the cheese is melted.
Green onions
For a springtime twist on a classic American favorite, try putting green onions on your grilled cheese. These sweet, springtime vegetables can be picked fresh from the ground and charred to enhance their flavor. They also go well with aged white cheddar and dijon mustard. To make them more decadent, try topping them with slices of bacon and sliced radishes. If you have access to good-quality bread, sliced green onions will make the spreading easier.
Whole grain bread
If you’re looking for a healthier grilled cheese sandwich, try using whole grain bread and low-fat cheese. Instead of using butter, you can try a homemade sesame-seed spread, or tahini, which increases the satiety and flavor of the grilled cheese without increasing its saturated fat content. A light toasting under a broiler or toaster oven is necessary to prepare the sandwich. A serving of half a grilled cheese sandwich contains 392 calories, 21.4 grams of fat (including 5 grams of saturated fat), 30 g of carbohydrates, and 24 g of protein.
