Grilled cheese is a famous American dish that is so popular there are even competitions about it. Every year the Pike Place Market in Seattle holds a grilled cheese contest for whoever create the best grilled cheese. This years winner is Jason Ramos. He named his grilled cheese Fromage Blanc. Here is his famous grilled cheese recipe.....
Fromage Blanc
- 1 Tbsp Mt. Townsend’s Fromage Blanc
- 1-1/2 oz Grande Fresh Mozzarella
- 1 oz Sliced Emmi Gruyere
- 1 Tbsp sauteed leeks
- 2 Slices Macrina Batard
- Unsalted Butter
For the leeks:
Slice one leek thinly and sauté it over medium-high heat with 1 ounce of butter. Add a bit of salt. Saute until slightly browned. Set aside.
For the sandwich:
On medium heat, heat your pan (or griddle). Assemble the sandwich: bread-mozzarella- fromage blanc -gruyere-leeks-bread. Rub a stick of butter on the pan and place the sandwich down – swirling it around to get all the butter on the bread. Flip and repeat with the butter/swirl technique. Now that both sides are buttered, brown evenly and slowly on each side. Flipping repeatedly. Don’t rush it. Your patience will be rewarded.
