Notes about Recipes in this book

• Mousetrap grilled cheese

  • Kduncan on January 18, 2021

    Good basic grilled cheese. Will happily make again.

• Mushroom-Gruyère grilled cheese

  • Nancith on April 19, 2017

    Wow, what an excellent sandwich! Takes a bit of prep work with sautéing leeks & mushrooms separately, roasting thin potato slices, but it was worth the effort. This even impressed my foodie son. It's hearty enough to satisfy meat-eaters as well as veg-heads.

• Feta fetish grilled cheese

  • mjes on August 26, 2021

    If I simply had the recipe without instructions, I might mistake this for a panini sandwich. I gritted my teeth and used garlic powder rather than fresh garlic. Be careful to keep the tomato slices thin for the right balance of ingredients. I enjoyed the sandwich.

    For my eggplant-hating kids, I used this base recipe to make "pizza" grilled cheese, but made the recipe as written for me and the hubs. I LOVED it. Also had pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

• Foghorn Leghorn grilled cheese

  • Nancith on May 05, 2021

    Hubby enjoyed this sandwich quite a bit! He's not fond of mustard, so mayo was subbed for the Dijon. I pan-cooked a chicken breast, the recipe's alternative to using roasted chicken breast. Quite easy to put together as well.

• Jalapeño popper grilled cheese

  • Kduncan on May 07, 2020

    We enjoyed this, though our apricot to jalapeno ratio was a bit more tilted to the jalapeno side. The addition of the chevre helped cut through the bite that the jalapeno gave which was really nice.

• Piglet grilled cheese

  • Kduncan on June 08, 2021

    We subbed bacon in for the ham. Overall We liked this, though the mustard was the most prevalent flavor (which I am fine with). Will make again.

    Pretty simple but tasty grilled cheese. Mustard added an interesting but tasty flavor, and the subtlety of the rosemary butter added a lot of taste as well.

  • kbrooks on September 20, 2025

    This is a definite winner! Made it with black forest ham and extra sharp Cheddar on homemade sourdough bread. The rosemary butter and apple mustard really elevate the sandwich. Served it with homemade caramelized onion tomato soup made with heirloom tomatoes from our farmers market. Will make the breakfast piglet grilled cheese recipe in the book in the future, which is essentially the same sandwich plus a fried egg.

• Spiced coconut-carrot soup

  • CaraGulati on February 25, 2023

    Doubled the recipe. Added 4 garlic cloves and extra coconut milk because I decided to use the whole container at 25oz. Very good.

• Apple mustard

  • kbrooks on May 07, 2026

    Delicious
