eggs-grilled-cheese-sandwich-0249Comfort, comfort food. I don’t think there’s a word other than “comfort” to describe the wonders of melting cheese. Simple as that, if there’s food that can melt my heart and console my soul, this is cheese that is left to pass from solid to gooey status. Not to mention I really need to forget about calories, sometimes. Or stop crying over brown chickpeas that never cook, as solid as stones and as tasty as dog kibbles.

At the expense of a few sandwiches, I learnt what a “meltable” cheese is and how to make it mellow and running after a few minutes under the grill. As always, I wait impatiently close to the oven, staring at it (I’m so grateful to the guy who “invented” the light in the oven!), and just like a student that gets to grips with his very first chemistry experiment,  I observe the magic transition from solid to “melted cheese”. A surprising culinary moment before the delectable bites.
