Day Three Hundred and Eighty One - A GCF fit for the Oscars!

Today I thought we'd have a guest appearance of one of our old traditions -- GCFs or grilled cheese Fridays and why not do a gussied dressed up GCF with Truffle Tremor. Truffle Tremor hails from Cypress Grove in California and is a bloomy rind aged Goat's milk cheese that is infused with black truffles giving the crisp, citrus-y, grassy, bright and lactic paste an earthy rustic delicately decadent twist. Truffle Tremor is fabulous on its own but I thought we would dial things up a notch and make a GCF utilizing the fantastic Truffle Tremor, some raw honey, and a few diced chives on nice thin slices of French baguette that have been lightly brushed with truffle oil. A simple straightforward yet fabulous GCF. We can pair this with some Prosecco and a homemade citrus salad.



What's in your citrus salad?

1 pink grapefruit
1 white grapefruit
2 navel oranges
2 blood oranges

1/4 cup of mint
1/4 cup of basil
Teaspoon of diced chives to mirror the GCF
Drizzle of Raw Honey for sweetness


Combine all together and let the juices meld to form a bright, refreshing, juicy and herbal salad to go with your creamy truffle forward GCF.

Have a great weekend folks!
