Great Grilled Cheese – Book Review
By admin on Jan 11, 2010 in Sandwich Bites
If you love grilled cheese and want some great recipe variations for this classic American sandwich then we recommend Great Grilled Cheese, by award-winning cookbook author Laura Werlin. Besides two classic grilled cheese recipes, Werlin demonstrates the sandwich’s versatility with many variations. Here are a few of Werlin’s recipes that we have made and eaten:
- French- Styled Grilled Ham And Cheese – a croque monsieur with tarragon and Dijon mustard
- Apple, Ham, and Cheddar on Sourdough – three classic ingredients that blended together perfectly
- Italian Ham and Cheese – using Italian Fontina cheese
- Grilled Cheddar and Broccoli with Cayenne – a take on the classic broccoli-cheddar soup
- Black Bean, Zucchini, and Monterey Jack Quesadilla – using ricotta as well as Jack cheese
- Chocolate-Hazelnut and Goat Cheese Melt – delicious and easy to make dessert sandwich
Werlin discusses:
- Grilled cheese sandwich history
- Why grate instead of slice
- Using salted butter
- Bread size
- Nonstick versus cast-iron pans
- Covering during grilling
- Grilling time
For the book, Maren Caruso provides fabulous photos that perfectly depict the delicious, cheesy recipes.
“Great Grilled Cheese” also serves as a primer for the novice cook who wants to learn a bit about cheeses and breads.
This is our favorite one-stop resource on the grilled cheese sandwich. Check out Laura Werlin on YouTube:
