The Montreal Grilled Cheese

April 20, 2013 by bsinthekitchen

Stacks of smoked meat.

Layers of melted cheese curds.

Mustard smeared rye bread.

It’s a Montreal smoked meat sandwich on steroids (a.k.a. with cheese). Juicy smoked meat, rich, salty cheese curds, paired with lots of tangy mustard, sandwiched between two pieces of crunchy rye bread, I’ll be tasting this one for days! I sat there like a proud Canadian would, devouring this sandwich in my plaid flannel shirt, and YES I even spilled mustard on it! It was a glorious moment, and though I have not an inch of French in me, I proudly ate this Montreal inspired meat and cheese fest. After that gluttony I was inspired to print my logo on Montreal poutine and smoke meat shirts, it’s worth a try as they are so popular.

The Mexican Grilled Cheese

April 19, 2013 by bsinthekitchen

HOLY MOLY…feels like I stuffed half of Mexico inside me with this one i’m so full! Carbs on carbs on carbs, refried beans, spicy Mexican green sauce, fresh salsa, loads of cheese, queso fresco, avocado, the list goes on! My stomach can’t take it anymore! Visiting the local Mexican grocery store El Mercado Las Palapas for the first time, not only was I welcomed by wonderful Mexican goods, but by not-so-quiet whispers coming from behind the cash register.

“He looks just like Damian Lewis!”…

Sorry ladies.

The Italian Grilled Cheese

April 18, 2013 by bsinthekitchen

Three Italian deli meats, three Italian cheeses, boy was I looking forward to this! The spicy meat, balanced by tons of cheese oozing everywhere, the bite of red onion, tang of red wine vinaigrette, and notes of tomato throughout, all I’ve gotta say it Buon appetito! I felt like an Italian eating this one!

Strawberry, Balsamic, Basil & Brie Grilled Cheese

April 17, 2013 by bsinthekitchen

Strawberry, balsamic, basil & brie grilled cheese…Now that’s a mouthful! Literally!

Okay, i’ll be honest…I enjoyed this grilled cheese waaay more than I thought I would! I knew it would be good, but since i’m not usually the sweet, savoury type, I didn’t think it would be my favourite, but man was it good! Strawberry and reduced balsamic vinegar is already a great duo, now add brie and basil, and you have yourself one amazing grilled cheese! Sweet strawberries and reduced balsamic, savoury creamy brie cheese, with a fresh peppery bite of basil. Mmmmmmmmm.

Go eat this now!

The Swiss Mushroom Melt Grilled Cheese

April 16, 2013 by bsinthekitchen

Another day, another grilled cheese! And a fine one at that! Juicy mushrooms, encompassed in stringy, melted swiss cheese. MMM MMM! Sauteing whole mushrooms, rather than chopping or slicing them, gives this sandwich some great meatiness as you bite into it, getting a big juicy mushroom, mixing with the swiss cheese flavour! Soo good!

The Seared Tuna Melt Grilled Cheese

April 15, 2013 by bsinthekitchen

Another killer grilled cheese to report here! After buying some tuna for another recipe, it dawned on me that I could take the classic tuna melt, give it my signature twist and turn it into an amazing grilled cheese! And oh boy, was it delicious! Gruyere and cheddar holding it down on the outside, mixed with salty dill pickle, crunchy celery, a bite of fresh dill and green onion here and there, all surrounding the main attraction: Seared Tuna. Toss out your dry flaky canned tuna, there is a new sheriff in town! You’re still getting your beloved flaky tuna, but now it’s nice and moist, flaking off from around the juicy, tender, rare center of your tuna steak. Talk about gourmet grilled cheese!

The Ball Park Frank Grilled Cheese

April 14, 2013 by bsinthekitchen

Taaake me out to the baaalll gammee, taake me out with the crowwd… I think that’s what my tastebuds were singing as I was eating this one. Talk about flavour! This one had loads of it! Hotdogs, mustard, ketchup, relish, fried onions, and loads of cheese! I think I need to go run around the bases more than a few times after this one! Carlene got the bases loaded with this one, prepping all the ingredients, and I hit the home run and fried it up!

Lobster Grilled Cheese

April 13, 2013 by bsinthekitchen

Lobster grilled cheese…really? YES. Rich meaty lobster chunks, surrounded by melting cheese, and toasty buttered bread…this was one rich, tasty sandwich! The idea for this one stemmed from thought of lobster mac & cheese which seems to be fairly popular, although I have never had it! That may need to change.

Caramel Apple & Brie Grilled Cheese

April 12, 2013 by bsinthekitchen

I had this for breakfast…don’t judge me.

Come on, it’s not that bad, plenty of dairy, fruit, some carbs, a little sugar to get that blood pressure up, add in a cup off coffee and you’re ready for an epic day.

Anyways…

Perogy Grilled Cheese

April 12, 2013 by bsinthekitchen

Нічого собі, що все дуже смачно! Whoops… sorry, this grilled cheese was so delicious in a traditional fashion that I started to speak ukrainian! It’s filled with all the delightful ingredients perogies are made from – potatoes, cheddar cheese, green onions and sour cream and then made even better by being assembled in a grilled cheese. I don’t want to brag too much but this GC was seriously awesome! I think Bob should watch his back…..there is a new Grilled Cheese Artist in town! Let’s get to this Ukrainian inspired recipe..
