Kristina Gill: Sandwiches
I know this will seem like some sort of heresy, but one of the things I look most forward to when I go to Paris and London is finding a sandwich from some fancy bakery with great cheese and other great flavors that all fit perfectly together. Two sandwiches I can’t get out of my mind are the grilled cheese sandwiches with leeks at Borough Market and a sandwich using cherry preserves from a bakery in the Marais.
Here, I buttered and grilled the slices before adding the shaved Comte cheese to melt under the grill. I dressed it with the sauteed leeks and a bit of whole grain mustard. Upon the recommendation of the cheese shop, I tried a St Marcellin Fermier that I brought to room temperature with the cherry preserves, and a whole wheat bread with walnuts.
