Classic grilled cheese sandwich made with artisan cheese and golden toasted bread, delivering a simple yet irresistibly creamy comfort food favorite.

Cantina Classic Grilled Cheese with Wagon Wheel and Hop Along

The nuttiness and meltability of both Wagon Wheel and Hop Along makes this a grilled cheese you won’t forget. It’s the perfect way to use up those odds-and-ends cheese bits in your fridge, too!

Ingredients

Makes 3 sandwiches
6 oz Wagon Wheel or Hop Along, grated
3 oz of your favorite Toma, grated
6 slice(s) day old sourdough
2 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine all cheeses. Divide the cheese mixture evenly between three slices of the bread, top with the remaining three bread slices to form sandwiches, and butter the outside of the bread.

Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or any large pan with a heavy bottom over medium heat. 

Place a sandwich in the heated pan and cook until the bread touching the pan is golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the sandwich and continue to cook until the cheese is completely melted and the bottom of the sandwich is golden brown. Repeat for each sandwich and serve right away.

Hop Along
A snackable organic cheese under the influence of hard cider. After 45 days of aging, this washed rind cheese develops aromas of apple and brioche and a silky, semi-firm interior. Hop Along is a versatile and approachable option for both cheese novices and experts and easily pairs with a variety of snacks (cured meats, preserved and fresh fruits, nuts) and beverages (kombucha & hard cider).
