The Classic.
Everyone’s childhood favorite meal, or at least for those of us who are normal,
was the grilled cheese. Whether you got this child delicacy at home or at your
favorite lunch spot, grilled cheese is something that brings everyone back to
the good ole’ days.
Slap a buttered piece of bread on a skillet, add plenty of
cheese and finish by topping the sandwich off the other piece of buttered bread
and let the goodness melt and warm as it all comes together and the buttery
warm smells and feelings fill the kitchen air.
Here is the problem: as we grow older and into adults our
taste buds change. The good thing is that they hardly change from our love of
butter and cheese. Here is the kicker… and adult grilled cheese! There are so
many different combinations that we as adults can add to boost those new taste
buds into overdrive with The Classic.
I’ve come up with three unique and yet tasteful additions to
the epic grilled cheese sandwich. I’ve got one for spice, one for flavor and
one for meat lovers.
Spice it up. Secret ingredient in this mix up is green
chilies. If you really want to branch out and spice up the entire sandwich
change the cheese. If you stray away from the classic yellow American cheese,
to a more sophisticated type cheese such as Monterey Jack, the spice level with
the green chilies really wakes up your senses.
One for flavor? Adding fresh avocado slices are the key. If
you really want to be bold add some bacon and tomatoes to make a grilled BLT. You
can also change the cheese on this sandwich to make it swiss or provolone.
For the people who are meat lovers you can pretty much add any type of meats you prefer to make this a protein filled grilled cheese. I’ve been known to make one grilled cheese with turkey, pastrami and bacon.
There are a lot of different combinations you can make with grilled cheese sandwiches. You just have to be creative and bold enough to try out new flavors!
Bon Appetite!
