The recipe chosen this week for CEiMB, using Ellie Krieger's cookbook, The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life, was selected by Leslie from Lethally Delicious and is Sweet & Spicy Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, found on pages 94-95.
I love grilled cheese sandwiches. I think I survived on grilled cheese sandwiches as a child, seriously, as I was a bit of a picky eater, okay, more than a bit. I might still be. For instance, you will note that this grilled cheese sandwich is not squished with a pan to make it flat like the recipe directs, and you might also note that there are no crusts on the bread because I don't like crusts, ever. Okay, a tad picky about things.
However, despite my pickiness about incidentals, the recipe is wonderful. I used homemade bread (we don't use anything else around here anymore actually ever since I learned how to bake bread myself), and Ellie specifies thinly sliced white cheddar cheese, thinly sliced pepper jack cheese, caramelized diced red onions, and tomato between the slices of bread, grilled to perfection.
Happy, happy, happy...this is one great sandwich. Thanks, Leslie!
