I laughed the other night as I was looking at the posts I've done so far. It dawned on me that I've yet to do a breakfast item, and that was the whole inspiration behind this blogging thing in the first place. If you've read my "About" page, you know I'm dreaming of having a bed and breakfast someday. I think I've covered just about everything but breakfast.
Actually, I guess this sandwich could work at any time of the day, but it just seems more "breakfasty" to me. The cheese and honey melted together is really, really good, and I love strawberries and basil. I did use a cast iron skillet to press the sandwich as it was cooking. I kind of wish I wouldn't have for the picture, because it came out pretty squatty. If using a griddle or grill pan, as with traditional grilled cheese, I'll cover it with a cake pan to trap the heat and melt the cheese more quickly so the the bread doesn't overcook before the cheese is completely heated.
I am eager to try different combinations as time goes on. I hope you'll give this one a try. And if you have ideas for new combos, please share!
