Project: Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I woke up today dedicated to one solitary task, the construction of my ultimate grilled cheese sandwich. At its best a grilled cheese is a harmonious wonder. The toasted bread's ying to the soft flowing cheese's yang. Just 2 simple ingredients - an oozing fusion of crunch.

For this special grilled cheese I started with the cheese. Or specifically the wonderful cheese room at The Fine Food Store. Tempted by gorgeous blues and tugged at by soft subtle goat's, I stayed my course and selected a firm and heavenly imported Gruyere and a cloth-wrapped Pyengana cheddar. A great start.

For the bread, I could go nowhere else but Fuel Bakery. Breaking from tradition, I chose a loaf of multigrain fresh from the rack.

...scrapings of cheddar, gratings of gruyere, careful slicing of bread (none too thin or thick), melting of butter...

The result: Grilled cheesy perfection.
