One of the reasons I love grilled cheese sandwiches is that they’re incredibly easy to make: all you need are a few basic tools and simple ingredients to make something delicious. But that doesn’t mean America’s favorite sandwich has to be boring. Using flavorful artisan cheese and inventive add-ins like Pepper Crush’s dense, spicy pepper paste will take your next grilled cheese to the next level.
Consider this pepper paste a more flavorful version of sun-dried tomato paste. It’s made completely out of freshly dried hot peppers, and pureed with olive oil and sea salt. This classic application in a grilled cheese sandwich makes for an easy yet satisfying gourmet lunch.
