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! With the filling already decided, the moroccan grilled chicken , green olive tapenade with preserved lemon , pickled onions and harissa , that left only the cheese and I figured that I would go with a Mediterranean cheese, manchego. As you might guess just from reading the ingredients, this is one tasty grilled cheese sandwich that is just packed with flavour and it is sure to satisfy your grilled cheese cravings!
This is definitely one big grilled cheese and it eats like a meal!

There are so much goodness, happiness, oomph factors in between those two slices of bread! Your Sandwich looks insanely inviting!
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.
Un post fantastico!!
thanks, I'll check it out – I think it's Olympic cheese on the east side in the middle.
Now this is my kind of sandwich, amazing!!
