Truffle Mushroom Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese, a staple from all of our childhoods. The classic American cheese sandwiched in between white bread. To me, grilled cheese is beautiful in its simplicity, but definitely can be elevated. And that is where this truffle mushroom grilled cheese comes in. With a parmesan crusted exterior, a cheesy melty interior, and umami richness coming from mushroom and truffle salt, this is the perfect meal to make when you want something just a little more.
