Oooey, gooey ribbons of delectable melted cheese sandwiched between butter-crisped slices of sourdough, wheat, rye, and even focaccia and croissant, combined with favorite foods such as bacon, pequillo peppers, guacamole, seasonal veggies, caramelized onions, pears, herbs, and so much more—what is there not to love about the modern grilled cheese?
Inside Grilled Cheese, Please, award-winning cheese expert Laura Werlin presents 50 recipes that elevate the classic grilled cheese sandwich to a culinary center-of-the-plate meal changer through innovative and delicious recipes such as Say Olé (Two Cheeses, Guacamole, Bacon, and a Corn Chip Crust); Brie, Mozzarella, and Sautéed Pears with Blue Cheese Butter; and Cheddar, Chorizo, Apples, and Pickled Onions on Ciabatta. The recipes are divided into seven chapters that are arranged by topics such as Grilled Cheese on the Go, Ethnic-Inspired, Meat and Cheese, and Veggie and Cheese among others. Grilled Cheese, Please features full-color photography, along with sections highlighting the best cooking techniques, melting cheeses, and other "best" grilled cheese insights, as well as a list of restaurants, stands, and mobile trucks across the country where grilled cheese is the focus, not the side dish.
Perfectly timed to coincide with National Grilled Cheese Month, Grilled Cheese, Please encourages melted cheese enthusiasts to expand their grilled cheese horizons by enjoying these riffs on the original and in the process become seduced all over again by the velvety goodness found within.

The recipes in this book takes you to a whole different level of ecstasy. While they do use a greater variety of cheeses than I generally use, the philosophy and pictures will have you drooling and leaving wet spots on this book . One caution, DO NOT READ WHILE HUNGRY! If you do, you have been warned.

I have lived in Wisconsin practically all my life and any self-respecting Wisconsinite LOVES cheese. I'm no exception. Grilled cheese is one of my favorite comfort foods amongst many(most containing cheese).
One of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I ever had was at a place called Elsa's in downtown Milwaukee.

You should have warned me in the beginning because I'm on my way to fix a grilled cheese sandwich. LOL! I love me some cheese on everything. I'm getting older now so I don't want to end up with high cholesterol so I try to take it easy.
I also love me some win, grapes, cheese and crackers especially while reading a good book. A match made in heaven.
OMG! Grilled cheese sandwiches are one of my favorite foods! The cover of this book alone makes me salivate. I'm adding this to my cookbook collection ASAP!
