The Great Grilled Cheese Book: Grown-Up Recipes for a Childhood Classic [A Cookbook]

Fifty chef-created recipes—some classic, some boundary pushing—for America'’s favorite sandwich, the grilled cheese.

A fresh take on the beloved American classic, from the classic white bread with American cheese to “The Champ” (a taleggio and short rib extravaganza); the “Johnny Pastrami,” which combines pastrami with the bite and freshness of apple chutney; and “The Tomater” with creamy mozzarella and a sun-dried tomato spread.

Featuring both common and elevated ingredients like brie cheese, poppy seed bread, olive tapenade, fig marmalade, smoked salmon, candied bacon, bourbon- glazed ham, and raisin walnut bread, these are recipes that invite you into new and uncharted grilled cheese territory.
