Oh my! This is one of those grab it out
of the pantry and wow your family or guests
kind of recipes that people are going to swoon over!!
These little nuggets -
Ok - these fat, luscious nutggets
of garlic bread filled with cheese are
out of this world.
And guess where we got the recipe?!!
COSTCO!
Yup!! This is one of those walk through
Costco stores and get something fabulous
to try and then you have to buy items!
My daughter even told them that she
didn't like grilled cheese, but after she
tried a bite, she said, "Maybe I do like grilled cheese!"
The star of the show is this
Chef Shamy Gourmet Garlic Butter that
they were featuring at Costco.
Simply spread thick bread, we used
Costco's thick sliced French Bread Loaf
but Texas Toast would be great with this
fabulous garlic butter (and yes, this is made with
real butter, not some nasty substitute) on the
outsides and layer the inside with a nice thick
layer of shredded cheddar cheese (of course we
used some from Costco!)
Then place it on a griddle that is heated to
about 325 degrees. You don't want it too hot
as this makes a thick sandwich that will take
some time to melt. Flip it when golden and
grill on the other side. If you want, you can place
a large saucepan lid over the sandwich to help
the cheese melt.
Of course you could make your own
garlic butter! It is the garlic butter and
the thick bread that made the croutons
out of this world so even if you don't have
a Costco, or if yours doesn't have this
Garlic Butter, you can make these
luscious nuggets, or just eat it as a grilled
cheese sandwich!
When the cheese is hot and gooey, carefully slice
the sandwich into croutons and place in the
middle of a bowl of Tomato Basil Soup
(also from Costco) and you have a fabulous
meal. (Or make your own soup!) Talk about
easy and fantastic!
You might have to keep adding croutons
because really, the soup is just a dip for the grilled
cheese, right?
We had this for our lunch after skiing
at Sundance
and it was outstanding.
Thanks Costco for
all of the great ideas for this outrageously yummy meal.
