pimp my grilled cheese: bleu cheese edition

Because of the overwhelming response to Pimp My Grilled Cheese: Goat Cheese Edition, I added some bling to my grilled cheese again. Enjoy the following recipe for a grilled cheese sandwich with bleu cheese:

  • Whole grain bread, two slices of;
  • American cheese*, two slices of;
  • Bleu cheese crumbles, lots of;
  • Butter**, four slices of; and
  • Fresh ground pepper, to taste.

Butter one slice of bread and place butter side down in a cast iron frying pan***. Unwrap and place the slices of American cheese so they cover the bread. Add fresh ground pepper to taste. Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles on the American cheese to taste. Place the remaining slice of whole wheat bread on top of the bleu cheese and put two pats of butter on top of the bread. Fry over medium heat until golden brown and flip. When both sides are suitably toasted, cut diagonally and enjoy. Finally, bring Smoove D a bottle of Tanquerey No. 10 to thank him for introducing such a bitchin’ sandwich to the world.

notes:

* Publix brand is slightly zestier than Kroger brand, while not overwhelming the humble nature of the grilled cheese sandwich.
** This is important: use real butter for optimum grilled cheese flavor.
*** I find Le Creuset works well, despite being made in France Freedom.
**** Chainsaw Death owns.

    A nice, ripe, salted tomato slice would have made this sandwich perfect!

    I’ll make this one for J. My taste buds are too sensitive for blue cheese. I’ve been trying my whole life to like bleu cheese but to no avail.
