Not the most photogenic sandwich in the world, but soooo rich and cheesy.
The Barefoot Bloggers pick this week comes from Kathy of All Food Considered. This French sandwich recipe appears in Ina Garten’s Barefoot in Paris cookbook. It’s basically a seriously over-the-top grilled cheese. Dijon, ham, Gruyere, and a white sauce with more cheese makes ONE SERIOUS SANDWICH. Not necessarily something you would just throw together everyday, but after you make it once, you know it won’t be the last.
I followed the recipe exactly, and then added some roasted asparagus to the inside for fun. Really good. For all you cheese monsters out there, the recipe for this delicious sandwich can be found here.
Your pic looks so pretty! I am jealous that you added roasted asparagus, I’ll be that tasted great.
I am one of those cheese monsters you mention. I loved this one too. Yours looks great – you made this look pretty and delicious!
Ooh, asparagus. Nice.
This WAS a serious sandwich. I didn’t really expect Jeff to like it (because it has a God-forbid sauce), but we’ve already made them twice.
