The Best Grilled Cheese

I had a hankering for a grilled cheese. I like to create culinary concoctions. Perfect. While the ingredients below are not your standard fare, save for The Melt, they are certainly delicious. While looks can be deceiving, this fromage is flavorful and filling.

Components of Concoction:

2 slices of Everyday Molasses Oatmeal Bread (from The Savory Root in Temple, NH)

1 shallot (from garden)

½ tomato from Blue Pike Farm

1/3 oz. of Crottin goat cheese

1/3 oz. Green Field Farms Raw Milk tomato garlic cheese

1/3 oz. Sugar River Cheese Co. While cheddar with Roasted Garlic and Onion

¼ avocado – The Basketeria

1 tblsp of butter

½ tblsp oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Directive:

In a pan over medium-high heat, sautee the shallot and fresh ground pepper in EVOO for 2-3 minutes, remove from heat and set aside.

In the same pan, melt tablespoon of butter over low heat. Coat one side of each slice. Add butter or cooking spray to recoat pan.

Add cheese and shallot and cook on each side 3-4 minutes, until cheese is beginning to melt. Add tomato and avocado to sandwich.

Return to heat and cook each side and additional 3-4 minutes or until desired crispness.

Enjoy.
