Buttery, salty and enduringly simple, the grilled cheese sandwich stands unrivaled in the universe of simple gastro-pleasures. It is the gateway sandwich to the land of hot sustenance, the first stovetop food many children learn to prepare by themselves. This deluxe grilled cheese is inspired by a dish at the Foundry on Melrose in Los Angeles.

Time 20m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 9

15 dried apricots
1 tablespoon nonpareil capers
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
8 slices dark raisin bread
5 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
4 small handfuls arugula
8 ounces taleggio cheese, rind removed, at room temperature
4 pinches fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Place apricots in small saucepan and add water just to cover. Bring to full boil and immediately remove from heat. Mix in capers, mustard and olive oil. Pulse in blender to chunky consistency; set aside.
  • Spread one side of each bread slice evenly (to the edges) with 1/2 tablespoon butter. With buttered sides down, top four slices with 2 tablespoons of apricot mixture, handful of arugula and equal portions of cheese. Top with remaining slices, buttered side up.
  • Place large skillet over high heat, and melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Reduce heat to low and add sandwiches. Cook until browned and crisp on both sides, about 2 minutes a side. Transfer to a platter lined with paper towels, and sprinkle each with a pinch of fleur de sel. Cut in half and serve.

Overall, I thought this sandwich was good, but not great. I would make it again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.

This sandwich was a bit difficult to eat because the cheese was so gooey. I think I would grill the sandwich for a shorter amount of time next time.

The capers in this sandwich were a bit too salty for me. I think I would use less next time.

This sandwich was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would omit the apricots next time.

I substituted goat cheese for the Taleggio cheese and it was still delicious. This sandwich is very versatile.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover Taleggio cheese. I also added some arugula to the sandwich for an extra kick.
