(WJBK) - This recipe for Sweet Lorraine's Twisted Grilled Cheez comes courtesy of Lorraine Platman.
METHOD
With a loving hand, sprinkle your grated cheese over a slice of your favorite bread ( we love Brioche and that is what we use at all our location about 1" thick). In a bowl combine hot noodles (we use twisted since it is a twisted grilled cheese sandwich) about 1 cup cooked noodles per sandwich & toss with 1/3 cup of your favorite hot, ooey gooey cheese sauce ( if we told you ours we'd have to kill you, so since we are peace-loving I will give you a nice recipe below that I came up with that is similar to what we make at our restaurants).
Top the first slice with the cheesy noodles and then this is where you become a chef the toppings of your choice. Here are some examples:
Mushrooms, raw or sauteed
Pesto
Spinach
Tomatoes
Sweet onions
Diced bell peppers
When you are done with your creation top with some more cheese. Here are some choices:
Crumbled goats cheese
Fresh mozzarrella
Swiss
Smoked (anything)
Cheese curds
Top with your second piece of bread place on a well oiled griddle or pannini grill or saute pan and fry until bread and cheese become one --creating a Sublime perfection!
