Café Muse's Grilled Cheese Sandwich

"Not only did this grilled cheese sandwich garner Esquire Magazine's top honors as one of the best sandwiches in America, but the Oprah Show rated it 5 stars also. No cheddar here, but a creative combination of Havarti, mozzarella and the wonderfully-melting Fontina. Add broiled tomatoes, a touch of basil and honey and you've got a sandwich! Cooking time is approximate. From Greg Reyner of Café Muse, Detroit, Michigan."

directions

  • Butter bread on one side with softened butter. Place in an oven-proof sauté pan large enough for 2 slices of bread, butter side down, over medium-low heat. Put mozzarella on one slice of bread and Fontina and Havarti on the other. Cook until golden on bottom and cheese begins to melt.
  • Place tomatoes on the mozzarella side and a drizzle of honey on the Fontina/Havarti side. Slide pan under broiler for a few minutes to broil the tomatoes.
  • Sprinkle basil as desired on top of the tomato, assemble sandwich, and serve.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a transplant from Alabama now living in a St. Louis, MO suburb. After many years as a senior consultant, I had to have major surgery with a long recovery period, which is when I found your site. What a thrill!! I spent many years collecting cook books before losing them all (including my Mom's recipes) in a house fire. I still collect books when I can, but more often I frequent 'Zaar and get the best recipes! I rate the recipes I really love, which is why most of my ratings are high. So far I haven't encountered a recipe I didn't like where I didn't change something in the original, and I don't think it fair to give a low rating under those circumstances. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
