Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Food is just one of our specialties at the @gardenofeden.
We have very developed palates that we constantly fine tune to give ourselves and others an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind dining experience.

This month we have made many dozens of grilled cheese sandwiches, specifically entertaining the request of our AirBnB guests who just can't seem to get enough of them.

Every sandwich we make is an individual creation, never made before--and with such unique, handmade and homegrown ingredients--never made the same again.

We pile high on both sides of the bread and begin grilling each side separately to meld the layers together so the dozens of ingredients in each sandwich don't fall out.

Not only do we use many different kinds of cheeses, but we also use our homemade sauces, salads and spreads to adorn them.

For instances, this time we used homemade ingredients such as kimchi, guacamole, hummus, garlic and herbed tomato salad, fresh refrigerator pickles, sauteed onions/garlic/peppers, jalapeno garlic oil, ginger/turmeric/tahini/ginger dressing, a spicy vegetable sauce, herbed cheese (yes, we made that from scratch too), onion dip, onions, chives, green onions, peppers, mint, lemon balm and other herbs picked fresh from our garden.

Then we sprinkle on all kinds of spices like coriander, cumin, curry, turmeric, chili powder, paprika, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary... salt and pepper too, of course.

It takes a couple of us a good 2 hours to prepare and grill these sandwiches, not including all the many many hours to harvest and pre-prep time of all the individual salads, sauces, sautés, cheeses and spreads that end up in these creations. (Of course that also doesn't include all the years we've spent creating compost for the perfect soil, planting, watering, weeding. trellising... etc.....to grow our own food!)

We grill them on our handmade rocket stoves (we also made ourselves out of dirt from the earth), over fire made from wood destined for the landfill. Not only do these sandwiches have optimal flavor and freshness, they are also created sustainably.
