User-Generated Sweet and Salty Grilled Cheese

Friday, September 25, 2009 - 12:00 AM

Earlier this week we talked about what happens when you bring Wikipedia's crowd-sourcing approach to organizing information into the kitchen. We asked you to take a simple recipe and make it special.  And from a humble, two slices of bread, two slices of cheese beginning, you've constructed an appealing sweet and salty sandwich that layers new flavors on an a traditional favorite. Without further ado, here it is: the Takeaway's User-Generated Sweet and Salty Grilled Cheese.  Try it out and let us know what you think.

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices of multi-grain bread
  • 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
  • Butter
  • Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt
  • Pickles, for extra crunchiness
  • Fig Jam

Preparation:

  • Spread the fig jam on one side of the bread
  • Melt the butter ahead of time and brush the outsides of the bread
  • Put the cheese between the bread
  • Put the sandwich on a skillet
  • Cook until both sides are brown.
  • Cookie cut the sandwich to look like the Virgin Mary.
  • Serve with sliced apple and chocolate milk

Oh, I guess you're refering to the vision in the grilled cheese sandwich, I forgot. That was a bit ridiculous, especially when there are so many valid apparitions.

'Cookie cut the sandwich to look like the Virgin Mary'? Insults are never very nice, and not necessary.
