Recipe and photos by Launie Kettler
Somehow over the last few months, we’ve been gravitating toward beer pub cheese as a quick little snack. The reasons are threefold. It’s insanely simple to pull together, it lasts for days in the fridge, and we’re a sucker for anything that can be stored in a crock!
So, then why wouldn’t wine pub cheese also be insanely delicious? The answer? It is.
Whether you’re into the reggae version by UB40, or the old school musings of Neil Diamond, it’s hard not to love ♪Red, Red, Wine ♪.
And this pub cheese is well – simplicity personified. We were planning on putting in loads of fresh herbs, but after sampling it (and sampling it, and sampling it), it became abundantly clear that this brightly hued cheese blend didn’t need anything else to help make it a star.
The wine, the gruyere, the kiss of cheddar – well – they all come together in perfect harmony. And isn’t that what you want in a lip smackingly delicious grilled cheese?
*Note, there’s more onion in the photo than called for in the recipe. But that’s because chopping onions can be addicting when you’re playing with an F.N. Sharp Utility Knife!
Now pour yourself a glass of wine, round up your ingredients, get that F.N. Sharp Bread Knife and cutting board ready for slicing and let’s make some pub wine grilled cheese!
