It’s a lazy afternoon and your stomach starts to rumble. Step up your grilled cheese game by adding some arugula, radishes and strawberry.
If you are not a big fan of herbs and vegetables try making this recipe. You can substitute arugula to basils or other herbs.
The reason why arugula fits well in this recipe though, is because of the sweet strawberries. Arugula when cooked is great with sweet things. Adding cooked arugula to something sweet is a great combination, who would have thought?
It doesn’t necessarily need to be strawberries though. You can try and experiment with other fruits. Pick fruits that can take heat though. Fruits like apples, peaches and blueberries can work well with heat. Adding in a dash of radish will add texture and flavor to the grilled cheese. It also leaves a clean taste in your mouth.
Ingredients:
- 3 Tablespoons of Butter
- 1 Strawberry (fresh), Sliced and Hulled
