Grilled Cheese Recipe Contest Winner!

Congratulations to Jason Ramos! His “Fromage Blanc” sandwich was the winner of the 2011 Seattle Cheese Festival’s grilled cheese recipe contest.

Fromage Blanc

• 1 Tbsp Mt. Townsend’s Fromage Blanc
• 1-1/2 oz Grande Fresh Mozzarella
• 1 oz Sliced Emmi Gruyere
• 1 Tbsp sauteed leeks
• 2 Slices Macrina Batard
• Unsalted Butter

For the leeks:
Slice one leek thinly and sauté it over medium-high heat with 1 ounce of butter. Add a bit of salt. Saute until slightly browned. Set aside.

For the sandwich:
On medium heat, heat your pan (or griddle). Assemble the sandwich: bread-mozzarella- fromage blanc -gruyere-leeks-bread. Rub a stick of butter on the pan and place the sandwich down – swirling it around to get all the butter on the bread. Flip and repeat with the butter/swirl technique. Now that both sides are buttered, brown evenly and slowly on each side. Flipping repeatedly. Don’t rush it. Your patience will be rewarded.
