Sometimes you just need a little comfort.
And it's been one of those weeks for me. From Anxiety to body aches to restless nights. It's just been that cycle. Comfort of some kind is warranted. So what's a Duchess to do? She goes default comfort mode: Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
There's something deliciously comforting about a Grilled cheese sandwich. Am I right? It's such a simple dish, but you can dress it up in multiple ways. Grilled Cheese can wear a fur coat or flip flops, but it never disappoints. I've got my all time favorite classic and simple American cheese cradled between two potato bread sliced grilled over hot melted butter. Sigh, just thinking about it brings me such joy. On a cold night grab a can of tomato soup, warm it up, add a dollop of sour cream and a healthy sprinkle of Shredded Cheddar cheese and settle in for the meca of comfort.
I've created some delicious, "Gourmet" Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, because we all need a little comfort, and dressing it up is just an extra treat. Enjoy my loves.
