Sharp and Spicy




For this installation in the great quest of ultimate cheesiness I have chosen a simple yet delicious combo. The bread is a mountain oat nut style containing bits of oats as well as some hints of pine nuts and others for a bit of texture. Sharp cheddar was selected tonight for its great taste and a bit of an extra flavor kick complemented with the Cheech's own habanero chipotle sauce.


Once the cheese and hot sauce was applied to the bread, as was a generous slathering of real butter all over the outside of this sandwich. I chose to use the sandwich griller seen here for its simplicity and because it cooks very evenly and even cuts the sandwich diagonally.


Now usually I use my do-all of the kitchen world, a cast iron skillet, but one of the room mates has this device and it works great for a quick late night job with great results. The cheese was fully melted, and the bread and butter toasted to perfection.


This is definitely a full flavored GCS with a bit of kick. After enjoying this one, I do believe it can be made better. Jalapeno slices as well as maybe a hint of pepper jack in there would be a great addition.

Untill we cheese again my friends...

  1. Is that an actual "block" of cheese your using?

  2. Yes it is, I dont use pre-sliced cheese. Blocks taste better IMO and are usually a bit cheaper. Only sliced cheese I buy is good deli stuff.
