By the looks of it, I’m going to go with “HELL YES!” I stumbled across this recipe from Partial Ingredients on my friend Joe’s Facebook page and was instantly drooling.
I haven’t been cooking lately, hence the lack of recipes on MTM. Not to worry, I’m firing up the oven on Friday so there should be something exciting to see next week.
BUT…
I don’t know if my dish will beat this bad boy. This grilled cheese has everything I love sandwiched between two pieces of bread, which makes it even more heavenly. Plus, a dollop of cream and cilantro on top. I mean….
Partial Ingredients is a food blog without much background about the blogger. She lives in central California, seems to cook often, and adapts recipes to her liking. For example, she says she came up with this recipe using leftovers from a Mexican meal. I would have never thought of a grilled cheese, but here it is in all its glory!
Evereyone always wants to add meat to a grilled cheese which makes it too heavy. Admittedly, this version is loaded with fat, yet I’m going to guess eat bite is worth it. We can lighten it up with less avocado and maybe adding some spinach. Make it as you will. My advise, just make it!
