Grilled Cheese

Welcome back everyone! 
Today we have a pretty classic grilled cheese! Simple yet still flavorful, the ingredients are just bread, butter, and cheese. Fun fact about grilled cheese: they originated in the 1920s because that was when there was cheap bread and cheese to make them! They were also pretty commonly eaten in the wartime, and paired with tomato soup, the nutritional standards were met. That's why grilled cheese and tomato soup are inseparable! (except we served ours with a salad :P)

Grilled Cheese


Makes 1 serving

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 slice provolone cheese
  • 1 slice/shredded cheddar (enough to fill the piece of bread)
  • 2 teaspoons butter

Directions:

  1. Oil and heat up the pan.
  2. Assemble the sandwich, this is pretty straightforward.
  3. Now, put your sandwich on the pan and let it toast/cook until slightly browned.
  4. At this point, put 1 teaspoon of butter underneath the sandwich to give it more richness. This part is optional but makes the sandwich taste better.
  5. Repeat with the other side.
  6. You should now have a soft, cheesy grilled cheese!
Now that's a cheese pull!

Despite the simplicity of the recipe, there's actually a lot you can do with it! For example, you could experiment with the types of cheeses: in this one, we actually used habanero cheddar to give a kick. You could use a panini press to make the sandwich quicker. You could change the bread for other types, too, or even things that aren't bread!

Fig Crème Fraîche Cake

Welcome back!  Today, we have a cake featuring an interesting fruit: the fig! Figs are typically eaten dried or in some processed form because they don't stay fresh for long, so making this dish out of fresh figs was quite nice. Once completed, the fig flavor blends in very well with the rest of the cake and creates a dessert that is flavorful but not overly rich. Fig Crème Fraîche Cake Makes a 9" cake Ingredients: 1/2 pound figs, quartered (if you have big figs, maybe 6-8 slices) 120 grams cake flour 50 grams almond flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 50 grams sugar 60 grams honey 120 grams crème fraîche 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier 1/2 cup melted butter Directions: In a bowl, sift in the dry ingredients (cake flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt).

Instant Pot Leg of Lamb

Welcome back!  Today, we have another lamb recipe, this time for a different cut. It has the similar lamb flavor and also features the key ingredient of rosemary, but this recipe works nicely as a stew, so it's rather different from the other two. Fun fact, Greece is the top consumer of sheep meet per capita in the world, which makes sense as lamb is a common Mediterranean meat. Rosemary also originates from the Mediterranean, so it's a perfect combination!  Instant Pot Leg of Lamb Makes 4 servings Ingredients: 4-5 pounds lamb leg (boneless) 1 onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 sprigs of rosemary and thyme, chopped Salt and pepper to taste 1 1/2 cup total of chicken stock and/or water (we used 1 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cup dry white wine) Other vegetables: potatoes, carrots, zucchini 2 tablespoons cornstarch A little water Directions: Dry the lamb with a paper towel. Then, tie it with some twine to keep everything together Season the lamb by rub...
