Three Cooks One Kitchen: Grilled Cheese on the Grill

It’s time for the September edition of Three Cooks One Kitchen!

In case you aren’t familiar, Three Cooks One Kitchen is a monthly cooking installment that  Joanna, Hannah and I do. We pick one of our places to get together and a food theme we want to focus on. Since we’re barely clinging on to the end of summer, we decided to do another grilling event while we still can. I love grilled food and cannot get enough of it.

This month we decided to do grilled cheese on the grill. I have had so many grilled cheeses in my life but someone never thought to actually grill them!

We all met up at Joanna’s house and brought our own grilled cheese supplies, and then shared everything with each other. Prepping the food was mostly slicing and dicing.

And eating the pineapple that Hannah had the great idea to bring as a side.

Josh and I picked up heirloom tomatoes at Whole Foods. Where have these been all my life? I love them.

Here’s the picture of Josh. We picked up pretzel bread for our sandwiches and it was such a good decision. We also got this garlic melting cheese Whole Foods was sampling that was out of this world.

We buttered each side of the bread, and put all our toppings on trays to take outside.

After we grilled one side of the bread until lightly brown we flipped it over and placed the toppings on the grilled side.

These sandwiches were beautiful, beautiful things.

Our only mishap went unphotographed. Josh was taking his sandwich off the grill and I told him to check the bottom to see if it was done. When he picked it up he realized he didn’t have a  good handle on it and went to throw it on the plate I was holding before it dropped to the ground. I had no idea what was going on, wondered why there was a sandwich coming my way, and the sandwich ended up on the ground. At the time I was sad for the sandwich. Now I’m wishing I got a picture to document it. haha There’s always a minor mishap at our monthly cooking events. At the same time the food always turns out delicious!
