Enjoy.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Today&#8217;s Sandwich: The Grilled Cheese with a Twist by Luke<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of my criteria for picking which sandwiches to highlight this month was whether the sandwich moved me out of my personal sandwich comfort zone. That&#8217;s why I picked this grilled cheese&nbsp;submission&nbsp;from Luke. It has a cheese I&#8217;m not all that familiar with (muenster) and it mixes raspberry preserves, pecans, and green onions together. If I saw this on a menu at a restaurant, I wouldn&#8217;t give it a second look because of its&nbsp;weirdness&nbsp;and move right on to the meatier offerings. Here&#8217;s to expanding gastronomical horizons. Let&#8217;s see how Luke&#8217;s sandwich pans out.<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 1.17em;\">Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32597 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2013\/04\/ingredients7.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage different types of ingredients.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"\/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bread (I used sourdough)<\/li>\n<li>Butter<\/li>\n<li>Raspberry preserves (homemade is best, but Smuckers will do)<\/li>\n<li>4 slices of muenster cheese<\/li>\n<li>Chopped pecans<\/li>\n<li>Green onions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Step 1: Chop Green Onion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32598 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2013\/04\/greenonion.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage chop green onion and knife placed at table.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 2: Butter Bread<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32599 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2013\/04\/butter.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage butter bread in a plate.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 3: Layer Cheese<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_32600\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32600\" class=\"wp-image-32600 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2013\/04\/cheese1.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage layer cheese bread placed in a plate.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"\/><p id=\"caption-attachment-32600\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Make sure to layer the cheese on the side that&#8217;s not buttered.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Step 4: Spread Raspberry Preserve on the Other Slice of Bread<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32601 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2013\/04\/rasberry.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage raspberry jam on a bread.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 5: Add Chopped Pecans<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32602 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2013\/04\/pecans.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage chopped pecans on a bread.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 6: Add Chopped Green Onion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32603 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2013\/04\/toponion.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage chopped green onion on a bread.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 7: Grill<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32604 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2013\/04\/grill.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage grilling bread Illustration.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Finished Product<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32605 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/\/2013\/04\/finished6.jpg\" alt=\"Grilled cheese sandwich with green onion raspberry jam.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2013\/04\/finished6.jpg 500w, https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2013\/04\/finished6-320x213.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Taster&#8217;s Notes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32607 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2013\/04\/tasting3.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage tasting sandwich.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Sweet baby Teddy Roosevelt. This is one of the best sandwiches I&#8217;ve tasted during the month. All the flavors go together perfectly. Every bite has the right mixture of sweetness and umami.
