Apple Shallot Grilled Cheese

So this is a pretty simple sandwich. I sort of made it on a whim cause it was what we had in the house that lent itself to something resembling a grilled cheese and the only reason I'm really writing about it is because Sarah liked it so much, that she interrupted me in such a way that I thought she was going to yell at me for some reason or another, but really she just wanted to tell me how good the sandwich I made for lunch was. So I ended up making it again the next day for lunch. 

It starts with cream cheese and shallots. I used shallots because we joined a winter CSA and have a bunch of them. Next I made a layer of apple slices.

Then on top of the apples went some sharp cheddar. I used shredded since it's all we had in the house, but I'm sure it would be easier with slices. Either way though really I guess. On the buttered pan I sprinkled garlic powder.

Then the normal grilled cheese cooking, nothing too special here.

Yum, yum, yum, look at all that ooey gooey-ness. Maybe I'm not as fevorant about this sandwich as Sarah is, but it is a damn good sandwich (if I do say so myself). Enjoy the cold weather and the holiday season's cheer and I'll see you next Tuesday!

My New Signature Sandwich

I have become obsessed with how good this sandwich is. Lilly has yet to be home when I've made it, but seems less than excited at the prospect of potentially trying it, but it is so, so good! And honestly it was born out of needing to make a lunch to bring to work, not having left overs, and having an apple and avocado that were about to go bad. It was a really happy accident that it turned out so good!

Step 1.) Put some cheddar on one of the two slices of bread and put them in the toaster oven.

Step 2.) Caramelize some onion (cut up some onion and put it in a frying pan with butter until they're clear and a little brown).

Step 3.) Mix some mayo with some creamy balsamic vinegarette salad dreassing.

Step 4.) Cut some slices out of an apple and some out of an avocado.

Step 5.) Assembly. Put the apple slices on top of the cheese, the avocado slices on top of that, sprinkle the onion on, and then top it with the other slice of bread with the balsamic mayo spread.

Step 6.) Enjoy. Duh.

See you next Tuesday!
