Last Saturday we hosted a luncheon, and as Lisa described, we ordered a cheese platter containing 3 cheeses from The Cheese Course in Mizner Park in Boca Raton, FL. Because we're all about "gilding the lily" we decided to create three "kicked up" versions of a grilled cheese sandwich. Actually, they were more like paninis...
First, we decided on something with ham & cheese, similar to the sandwich we had at The Cheese Course but grilled. We chose Black Forest Ha, picked up a nice aged Gouda that we sliced on our slicing machine, and decided to add sliced pears. We baked a brioche loaf to hold all these goodies!
Next, we went traditional Italian veggie...grilled eggplant & red onion, mozzarella, and roasted pepper. For this we baked a rustic log of whole wheat.
The third sandwich had smoked turkey, Fontina cheese, and caramelized onions, also on the brioche...
We served a variety of accompaniments that we'd found while cruising the aisles at Whole Foods...fig preserves, honey mustard, spinach artichoke spread, and an interesting plum smoked tea spread.
Once the sandwiches were grilled we cut them into quarters and served them to our friends...and it was good!
