I must be going through withdrawal, everywhere I look I see grilled cheese sandwiches including in the moroccan grilled chicken sandwich with preserved lemon tapenade and harissa mayo ! Luckily I had some of everything from the sandwiches leftover and I was just itching to turn them into a grilled cheese sandwich!

    Sounds amazing! One question though, I've searched Toronto for the meltable manchego cheese with no luck. Where do you buy it?

    Tammy: I usually get it at a cheese shop in the Saint Lawrence Market, I forget the shops name but it is the one in the middle on the East side. Ask for the younger manchego.

    thanks, I'll check it out – I think it's Olympic cheese on the east side in the middle.
