Um….excuse me while I have a moment with this grilled cheese.
This. Grilled. Cheese. Is. The. Best. Thing. Ever.
Yes, I have been known to say that a lot about many different things…but fo reals. THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.
I died when I ate it. I died and went to crispy, buttery, cheesy, flavor heaven. And I wanted to stay there forever. You know what I would wish for if I had one wish? I would wish that I could eat this exact grilled cheese for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day and it actually be super good for me. Like the equivalent of a spinach salad. Or a protein shake.
Wouldn’t that be the best thing ever???!!?
You don’t have to answer. I already know your answer. It’s yes.
Just everything about this sandwich is so wonderful. So…why the title “Fancy Schmancy?” Because it is fanc-aayyyy. Here’s why:
- The bread. It’s sliced sourdough bread from the bakery section. Don’t select a bread from the aisle of your grocery store where all the bagged loaves of sandwich bread are. Don’t do that. Not for this. Buy one of the pre-sliced, nicer breads from the bakery section of your grocery store. I used sourdough and it was wonderful.
- The butter. You melt some butter in a sauce pan with a crushed clove of garlic, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and a pinch of dried thyme while you assemble your sandwich. Then you brush this butter on the bread before cooking the sandwich. It adds sooooooo much FLAVA.
- The mustard. We add a light smear of Dijon mustard to the bread before adding the cheese. This adds another element and layer of flavor that just pushes this grilled cheese totally over the top. Like…way over.
- The cheese. Correction…cheese(s). Three to be exact. Oh yes…three. I used cheddar, muenster, and Asiago. But you are free to choose whatever cheeses your wonderful heart desires! The important thing is that you use a few different cheeses so you can get some varied flavors goin’ on in there.
This sandwich….it’s:
Crispy
Buttery
Garlicky
Very lightly red pepper-y (word?) and thyme-y (word….?)
Slightly mustardy
SO cheesy
HEAVENLY.
You must make it. Especially if you are a grilled cheese lover. This is the holy grail of grilled cheeses…???.
Um…side note. I DECORATED MY HOUSE FOR CHRISTMAS THIS PAST WEEKEND. Don’t judge me. Don’t you dare judge me. Okay you can judge me.
I will just be sitting here, smelling my Christmas tree scented candle, and looking at my happy and cozy Christmas decorations. Seth is a strict follower of the “No Christmas before Thanksgiving” rule…very strict. So since he’s deployed, I’m breaking all the rules ?…Christmas music, Christmas movies, Christmas decorations. MUAHAHAHHAHAAAAAA.
Don’t worry, Thanksgiving…I’m still excited about you too ?.
THIS GRILLED CHEESE. Make it – please and thank you.
