Waffled Grilled Cheese: Fig, Caramelized Onion and Welsch Cheddar
I cannot believe it took me this long to finally waffle a grilled cheese sandwich, but today was the day: Buttered Demi Miche, Dalmati Fig Spread, oven caramelized onions and Tintern Welsch Cheddar with chives and shallots.
The Demi Miche is dense, rustic and a bit sour. The Tintern Welsch Cheddar with chives and shallots (found at Trader Joe’s) is semi-firm like Feta, sharp yet aromatic, and very rich. Cast iron oven-caramelized onions add a sweet tang, yet have that certain deep caramel flavor that only comes from cast iron. The Dalmati Fig Spread is…figgy and sweet, so I only used enough to taste the fig without over-doing the sweet. Overall, the balance of these flavors was a fantastic combination. This waffle lab has given me oodles of ideas!
Oh, and I am happy. :)
