The Collaboration

Nothing says comfort to me like grilled cheese.....or any type of melty ooey gooey cheesy goodness in sandwich form.

Joe and I did not have much time for dinner as we were meeting Josh and Alexandra later on to see Crazy Heart so I called from work to tell him to make some home fries with the one potato we had in the house. I on the other hand, was in charge of the tuna melt.

I am particularly fond of the Double Cream Gouda, a perfect melting cheese with a lovely creaminess to it that makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I also picked up some cornichons, fabulous little guys that pack a punch and look like mini-pickles, they are a favorite snack of ours. We decided we liked the sourness of the cornichons better than celery in the tuna salad, even though celery gives more of a crunch. We figured that if you grill the melts right, the bread will give you the texture crunch you are looking for.

Anyways, a hot grill pan and dash of salt and pepper later we were enjoying our tuna melts and home fries and we decided that we make a pretty damn good team in more ways than one, but especially on the home fry/sandwich front!

Bon Appetit!
