I love grilled cheese. There's something so magical about that buttery, crispy crust and googey center.... I love couture grilled cheese or as I like to call them croque mademoiselle. Sourdough bread is a must. Don't insult me with white bread. :) LOL. We love Udi's of Denver sourdough. They deliver it fresh to Costco here, so it's a total treat for us! I love the cheese department of King Soopers on Leetsdale in Denver. It blows wholefoods out of the water. They have the best cherve and buffala mozarella, not to mention they have the best pecorino romano blends that shave perfectly. Ya, I love cheese. I'm a total cheese snob. I can totally pig out on a baguette cherve and inslata caprese. YUM. Anywyays, where was I? Oh yes, my croque mademoiselle. The snob of grilled cheese. I usually pick imported sharp cheddar thats organic and has been cured for at least 180 days. The sharper the better is my motto! I melt better in my skillet at medium low heat and add both slices of bread. AFter they soak up as much butter as possible I add the cheese to the non-buttered side and grill til perfection. My favorite side dish is always tomato soup. Perfect warm meal for a cold snowy Denver day. Have a 5280 kinda day!
