How to Make Comte Grilled Cheese with Cornichon Spread

1. Spread Mustard-Cornichon Dressing

Spread a nice layer of mustard-cornichon dressing on one side of each whole wheat bread slice, covering the surface right to the edges.

2. Add Comte Cheese

Lay the slices of Comte cheese generously on one of the bread pieces, then place the other slice of bread on top, spread side down, to form your sandwich.

3. Grill the Sandwich

Place a pan on medium heat and melt a pat of butter. Once melted, gently place the sandwich in the pan and fry until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about a few minutes on each side.

4. Serve Immediately

Remove the grilled cheese from the pan and serve immediately while the cheese is still melted.

Pitfalls and tips

Selecting the Right Bread

Choose a sourdough or a mild rye bread with a good crust for texture and enough structure to hold the cheese and spread, with irregular holes for cheese to ooze through slightly.

Grilling Temperature Control

Use moderate heat to ensure the cheese melts thoroughly and the bread develops a beautiful, even golden crust without burning.

Comté Cheese

Handling and Grating

Butter Technique

Use high-quality, unsalted butter, softened at room temperature. Spread a generous layer on each side of the bread, covering all corners for an even crust. Consider mixing with mayonnaise for extra tang and browning.

Pressing the Sandwich

Press gently with a spatula or use a sandwich press to encourage even cooking and help the cheese adhere to the bread without flattening the sandwich excessively.
