AWARD WINNING CHIPOTLE CHICKEN GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH Recipes

Who likes contests? I sure do! after all, who doesn’t..

Last week I was selected as one of the 10 finalist for the Emmi USA‘s “Gourmelt” Grilled Cheese Contest. I was mailed an electric grill and a sample of the Emmi Le Gruyere cheeses to work with. I’ve been having so much fun all week grilling all different types of grilled cheese. The winner of the contest will receive a wine fridge retailed at $299. Fingers crossed 🙂

Okay so let’s step aside for a moment and talk about this beautiful cheese. If you thought you’ve tasted good cheese, think again! The Le Gruyere is fantastic and goes well on sandwiches, in pastries and dips! It has a very dense and smooth with a sightly flaky texture that literally melt in your mouth. It’s unbelievably good!

For the contest I decided to make a chipotle chicken grilled cheese sandwich because the chipotle pairs very well with the cheese. Seriously the best sandwich EVER!
