Ultimate Grilled Cheese

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: 10 Minutes

Yield: Serves 2

When you need a break, turn to this classic comfort food with a kick! Oka cheese is aromatic and pungent butm if you can’t find it, use any other flavorful cheeses. “Comfort food supreme is what we call this grilled cheese sandwich recipe,” says Gnekow co-founder, Rudy Gnekow. “Our Chardonnay loves it. Enjoy!”

Ingredients

  • quality bread
  • butter
  • quality cheese slices
  • chipotle pepper, to taste
  • garlic dill pickles

Preparation

  1. Butter both sides of bread; place cheese sprinkled with a small amount of chipotle pepper in between slices.
  2. In a sauté pan over medium heat, grill sandwich with lid on (doing this helps evenly distribute the heat to the sandwich for optimum melting).
  3. When underside of sandwich is golden-brown and cheese oozes out the sides, flip sandwich and brown other side (the second side grills much faster than the first, 1 to 2 minutes).
  4. Once the second side is crisp and golden, remove from pan, slice and serve with garlic dill pickles - the combination can’t be beat!

We received our fifth installment from The California Wine Club yesterday. We are thrilled to say that you guys are a perfect five-for-five for us, and we're not THAT easy an audience! Money well spent and we cannot recommend the membership highly enough!

We are really enjoying our membership. This was gifted to us at the perfect time as my wife and I had just decided to start familiarizing ourselves more with wine and all the different types and flavors and intricacies of it all. We have tried several types through our membership that we probably would have never tried otherwise, and it's all been pretty good. I think my wife is settling on not liking Chardonnay, but on the other hand I've liked the Chardonnays we've received. Everyone is different. It's been a great experience and we would recommend it to anyone.

I’ve learned a tremendous amount about wine through The California Wine Club and I love that I can trust the selections I’ll receive.
