Week 4: Pan Fried

This week I had high intentions of making pan fried scallops to contribute to the challenge.  That was before I realized that fresh sea scallops were either A) of poor quality or B) ridiculously expensive... So grilled cheese it is!

I bought these ingredients last week to make a "fancy" grilled cheese sandwich to accompany my tomato soup. I didn't use them then, so here they are now.

The recipe comes from a Moosewood cookbook, under the heading "Cheese sandwiches for cheese lovers".  It's a sandwich of caramelized onions, fresh thyme, and grated gruyere cheese served on a crusty Italian bread. It might not perfectly satisfy the pan-frying requirements for this week, but it was tasty!
