Smoked Gouda Grilled Cheese with Curried Apple Chutney {Video}

Wisconsin smoked gouda, with its nutty, buttery intensity, is one that can hold its own against this flavorful chutney, and the two make a great match in this smoked gouda grilled cheese sandwich. Here I’ve used one of my favorite techniques for making grilled cheese sandwiches. The technique calls for browning one surface of each slice of bread on the stovetop, tops each untoasted half with cheese, then finishes the melting process in the oven. // alexandracooks.com

More often than I would like to admit, I open the fridge and think: How can this be? How can there be nothing to make for dinner? Again.

A few nights ago this happened, but as I was closing the door, a spot of color — a few tablespoons of curried apple chutney in a jam jar — caught my eye and saved the day.

I had made the chutney, a mix of stewed apples, onion, ginger, vinegar, sugar, and curry a few weeks ago to pair with smoked gouda in a grilled cheese for a post over on the Wisconsin Cheese Talk blog. A spoonful of this sweet, tart, spicy condiment goes a long way, and the little that remained in the jar proved plenty for two good-sized grilled cheese made on peasant bread using my favorite Suzanne Goin technique.

You can find the recipe for the chutney and grilled cheese over on Wisconsin Cheese Talk.

Hope all is well, Everyone!

Coconut Oil GranolaThis coconut granola is a staple in our house — a double batch never lasts a full week — and while sometimes it's tempting to buy granola at the store, I've yet to find a good one. // alexandracooks.com
Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Orange & Chocolate | Fair Trade GiveawayI absolutely love this sour cream coffee cake — the texture is super moist, and the orange zest and juice offer the nicest complement to the chocolate. The coconut oil, too, imparts such a nice flavor and smells heavenly while baking. // alexandracooks.com
Sautéed Zucchini with Mint, Basil & Pine NutsThis sautéed zucchini recipe is one of the most delicious things I've made in awhile. What I love about the dish is that even though the dressing is a jumble of ingredients, you can taste each element — the bite of the vinegar, the zing of the garlic, the sweet herbs, the crunchy nuts. // alexandracooks.com

  6. Just made this for lunch!! No cilantro in the store yesterday, AND I only had confectioner’s sugar (due to my sugar addiction) but I forged on anyway! Used swiss cheese as there was no gouda to be found in the time I had. Despite this…delicious, sweet, sour, tart, crunchy, and easy!!

  8. Made this today with your gluten-free version of your Mom’s pheasant bread – delish. I also tried it with our local goat cheese which was wonderful, too. As always, beyond grateful.
