Grilled Cheese Heaven

There is absolutely nothing as hearty yet velvety as a good grilled cheese sandwich. I have always loved grilled cheese sandwiches with that smooth cheese oozing out and the crispy textured buttered bread, but I never got to do experimentation and alteration of the concept until recently. As a kid, my taste buds were pretty basic. I never really cared about the quality of the individual ingredients that goes into a certain dish. For me a grilled cheese sandwich was simple, supermarket sliced white bread, packaged sliced cheese, and butter, all smacked together and grilled on stove top or electric grill. Thats it! Now that my taste buds have developed and my understanding of the need for better ingredients has raised the bar too high that the plain'ol grilled cheese sandwich doesn't do magic anymore. I had to do something about it. I really missed that feeling I got from eating it, so I had to come up with a plan. Experimenting with different kinds of freshly baked bread, gourmet artisanal cheese, and luxurious butter gave me a base to work with. The idea of adding extra ingredients havent crossed my mind, so I began making modifications to the base idea. Adding anything from truffles to pine nuts to sundried tomatoes and fresh basil. Now I have the concept all stuck together, and all I have to do is create more and more and more, so here is a few :-

• Ciabatta with buffalo mozarella, sundried tomatoes, fresh basil, roasted pine nuts, cracked balck pepper, balsamic vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil.
• Indian Paratha filled with tangy mango chutney and emmental cheese.
• Buttered thick-cut Texas loaf with American cheddar, bacon, caramellized onions, and BBQ sauce.
• Rustic sourdough bread brushed with rosemary olive oil with sliced pears and blue cheese.
• Sliced Rye bread with grilled portobello mushrooms marinated with gralic, parsely and olive oil and thick slices of raclette cheese, all grilled to perfection.
• Flour tortilla with Asadero cheese, jalapenos and grilled onions grilled on cast iron pan.
