Classic Grilled Cheddar and Spicy Beer Mustard Sandwich
I keep a quality cheddar in my refrigerator for nights like the one I experienced this week. I arrived home hungry, the house dark and chilly. First thought, a perfect occasion for a grilled cheese sandwich for what little remains of the evening. The making process moves along quickly, and the clean-up, a non event. A chore turns into an occasion when Spicy Beer Mustard is invited to help with the cooking.Spicy beer Mustard adds a continental flavor and a punch of spice to the humble grilled Cheese. Serve it with a dill pickle, a cluster of grapes, apple slices, a glass of beer and/or a carafe of Rose' and feel becalmed.
