taleggio cheese

Buttery, salty and enduringly simple, the grilled cheese sandwich stands unrivaled in the universe of simple gastro-pleasures. It is the gateway sandwich to the land of hot sustenance, the first stovetop food many children learn to prepare by themselves. This deluxe grilled cheese is inspired by a dish at the Foundry on Melrose in Los Angeles.

Grilled Taleggio Sandwich With Apricots and Capers

apricots

nonpareil capers

Dijon mustard

extra virgin olive oil

bread

butter,

arugula

taleggio cheese, rind removed,

fleur de sel

Place apricots in small saucepan and add water just to cover. Bring to full boil and immediately remove from heat. Mix in capers, mustard and olive oil. Pulse in blender to chunky consistency; set aside.

Spread one side of each bread slice evenly (to the edges) with 1/2 tablespoon butter. With buttered sides down, top four slices with 2 tablespoons of apricot mixture, handful of arugula and equal portions of cheese. Top with remaining slices, buttered side up.

Place large skillet over high heat, and melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Reduce heat to low and add sandwiches. Cook until browned and crisp on both sides, about 2 minutes a side. Transfer to a platter lined with paper towels, and sprinkle each with a pinch of fleur de sel. Cut in half and serve.

An enigmatic cheese, Taleggio makes its presence known with a pungent, meaty aroma but it actually has a pleasantly mild, buttery and elegant flavour. Begin this recipe 1 day ahead.
