Keep It Simple Sammy!

THE SANDWICH: The KISS sandwich a.k.a. the Keep It Simple Sammy: Butter-less Cougar Gold Grilled Cheese with Fennel Seeds or Red Pepper Flakes

THE INSPIRATION: The three-ingredient theme for Let’s Lunch* in, um, April. (I just got around to posting it today.)

THE INGREDIENTS — JUST THREE!

White bread — I had a loaf of the Master Boule recipe by the fine folks at Artisan Bread in Five Minutes A Day handy, or you can buy whatever bread you like at your favorite grocery.

Cougar Gold cheese – An addictive sharp white cheddar made by the Washington State University Creamery. YUM.

Fennel or Red pepper flakes

THE RECIPE: Instead of pan-frying the bread and fillings in butter, I cheated by toasting the bread, then nuking the toast with slices of Cougar Gold, sprinkling the pepper flakes or fennel seeds on top and folding them in half.

THE SANDWICH SURPRISEE: My husband, Brant …

We just got married in Vegas in March. *stars in eyes*

THE VERDICT: Brant was surprised that he liked both versions of the Cougar Gold grilled cheese. I don’t think that this had anything to do with his new mantra, “Happy wife, happy life.”
