The French Onion Sheep Grilled Cheese
A grilled cheese for Francophiles
One of the glories of the grilled cheese is that it is a canvas for creativity and innovation. This is a French-inspired take on the classic sandwich, with cheese from the country’s southwest mountains and a jammy confit that tastes like soupe à l'oignon. Briny cornichons bring an element of crunch that’s reinforced with a handful of fried onions. This is a grilled fromage for the ages.
