Reviews
Loved the combination of sweet and salty flavors! Really good.
I will never eat an Anerican cheese grilled cheese sandwich again!!
To those who asked about onions…there are no onions in the recipe or in the show demonstration. He used fig jam, bacon, and almonds. But I think onions would be tasty, too!
Awesome and even better with Grey Poupon!
This isn’t a review, but a question…onions? How are they cooked? It looks like (from the picture that they’re layered with the other ingredients…possibly caramelized, or simply sautéed? There’s no mention of them…(I should note that I didn’t see this show)…Thank you
