Alrighty, I promised more grilled cheese goodness and here it is! This "recipe" is one of my own devising cobbled together from various ideas I go whilst surfing the 'net. I've been watching reruns of "Good Eats" lately and Alton Brown inspired me to get more experimental, plus I didn't really pick a recipe before hand and thus had to make do with ingredients already in the house.
I used Sylvan Star Cheese Goat Gouda which I bought at the Farmer's Market and which I'll review by itself soon enough. I decided to sauté an onion and to add a twist I chopped up half a red delicious apple and tossed it in with the onion. So far so good but then I noticed that we were out of bread, luckily there were everything bagels to the rescue. I put down a layer of cheese on each bagel, then a scoop of the apple/onion mixture, then another layer of cheese for good measure. I used our "griddler" set to high and waited until the cheese was melty but not oozing out the sides onto the grill. Two pickles on the side and voila!

| Mmm. Delicious. |
So while not being exactly what I had envisioned when I started I was quite satisfied with how these turned out. The apples added a little sweetness to the onion but otherwise wasn't a strong flavour. My sautéing skills are not well developed and I was hampered by the fact that the frying pans were in the dish washer so I used a saucepan (not a recommended substitute). But they turned out alright. The real winner here was the cheese, which is what you want in a grilled cheese sandwich.
Tune in tomorrow for my next sandwich adventure.
