Trump’s 2nd Inauguration Day, MLK Day and Cheese Lover’s Day all on the same day!........The stars must be aligned perfectly!.................
A full moon would have been nice.
Zabar's combo of creamy, silky Taleggio and nutty aged Gruyère is decadent.
A perfect melt, w/ salinty from capers stirred into sweet, jammy strawberries.
Ing 2 tbl Tiptree Little Scarlet strawberry preserves 2 tsp drained capers 4 slices seeded sourdough rye (such as Zabar's) ¼ lb Taleggio cheese, rind removed, in 1/8" thick slices, 1 ½ oz aged Gruyère, grated (about 1/2 cup), divided
Steps Stir up preserves and capers, lightly smashing capers. Layer 2 bread slices evenly with Taleggio slices. Top 2 more bread slices with preserves mixture, and top evenly with grated Gruyère. Close sandwiches, press to flatten. Toast sandwiches golden in butter in hot skillet on med, cheese is melted, 3 min per side. Transfer to plates; serve immediately.
Notes Very tasty combination, can use plain sour dough; get 2 sandwiches from the jam. Use Tiptree brand Little Scarlet Strawberry Preserves for the ultimate version----made from tiny, sweet strawberries. At NYC Zabar's or online at brandsofbritain.com.
