This elevated twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich is a simple way to introduce kids to more sophisticated flavors while remaining in familiar territory. It's a simple way to expand their palate while keeping it kid-friendly!

Ingredients

Bread of your choice

Cheese of your choice (like Gouda, mozzarella, Comté, Brie, Gruyère, or a mix)

Truffle oil

Butter

Instructions

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat.

Drizzle a small amount of truffle oil on one side of each slice of bread, and cover it with your cheese of choice.

Top with the second slice of bread.

Fry the sandwich for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Notes:

I usually cover the pan with a lid while cooking to help the cheese melt faster and reduce the chance of burning the bread. If you don't have a lid that fits, a cookie sheet works well too.

I often cook "au pif," as we say in France, which means cooking without an exact recipe and by "feel" using your intuition.  You’ll find guidelines in many recipes versus exact quantities.  Write to me here if you have any questions about the recipes.

  • Now I Have Great Kitchen Intuition!

    "Finding you [has] truly inspired me to cook more and focus on quality ingredients. Strengthening my kitchen intuition has been key, it's how I know to roll leftovers into something new or I can see what I bought and come up with creative solutions.

    As a family, we always valued sitting down together for dinner but now it's done with so much less stress. I can be done with work and still make easy meals . . . amazing quality meals that are thrown together in a short time and we get to enjoy each other!"

  • A Real Game Changer

    "We have made a lot of progress over here under your care. We are now all eating from the same “pot” which I was surprised how much my kids loved. They were so excited when I put the food in the middle of the table. They asked for it the next day, Can we do that special fancy dinner thing where we have a feast? It really is such a better ritual—passing the food around and all sharing from the same platter, a real game changer."

    —Maggie C.
