Grilled cheese, apples, pickles!

Grilled cheese, apples, pickles!

Evidently April is national grilled cheese month, which is good, because I already made and ate two or three different iterations of this lunch, and if you cook something that much, you really need to talk about it on the internet. Even if what you kept making was a sandwich. Yes.

So: grilled cheese.

IT'S THE BEST LUNCH
I NEED THE CAPSLOCK
IT IS THE GREATEST

Grilled cheese in a cast-iron pan

Grilled cheese: dijon mustard and sharp cheddar on Veronica's homemade sourdough, grilled in unsalted butter in a cast iron pan. It's the classic for a reason, and the reason is that it's unbelievably delicious. Yeah!

Apples: organic gala. Cut them up!

Refrigerator dill pickle spears

Pickles: super easy and fast overnight refrigerator pickles made with English cucumber. I threw a couple peppercorns in there too. If you have never made refrigerator pickles, OH MAN. Go get yourself a cucumber and some vinegar. It takes five minutes and is so worth it.

Put everything on a plate and go to town.

SUCH NOMS
VERY EAT

Yeah, when I was vegetarian I ate a lottt of grilled cheese sandwiches. Usually with tomato in there, though this is giving me ideas. I'm sure a vegan grilled cheese would be good with apples IN the sandwich, no?

I would totally also do apples in the sandwich, with either vegan cheese or dairy!

Man, it's been ages since I had a good old grilled cheese sandwich... I didn't even realize it was grilled cheese month! I used to love them, eating at least one or two a week, but even then I only did plain cheese between bread. I love your sweet, salty, tangy additions. It sounds like a perfectly balanced assembly.

LOVE grilled cheese. And this just sounds so good. Comfort food at its best.
