Overview

• At a recent event catered by Michael Meltzer of Michael’s Catering, the grilled cheese sandwich station drew the longest buffet line.
• Meltzer says the key to the sandwiches’ appeal is perfectly toasted whole wheat bread paired with thoroughly melted mild Brie cheese.
• The grilled cheese combines whole wheat bread, mild Brie, fig jam and thinly sliced apple, all assembled and cooked in a lightly buttered skillet.
• The step-by-step recipe was distributed on June 3 by Tribune News Service through Capital Gazette, Orlando Sentinel and Baltimore Sun to reach readers nationwide.
• The published supper includes a simple spinach-tomato salad and provides full nutritional details per serving for calorie- and nutrient-conscious cooks.
