About a month ago I got a ton of emails about some mystery man who was doing a super secret underground grilled cheese delivery service.  I was instantly intrigued and thought it was one of the most awesome things i had ever heard of.  Well guess what?! I finally got his number and today my pup and I met him and swapped sammie's in the east village.  It was a lot of fun to meet another grilled cheese enthusiast and his GC was fucking delicious (and he wasn't too hard on the eyes either)!  Anyways, this is what I made in return!

Here's what I used:

Ingredients

- 1 cup of shredded gouda
- 3 pieces of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tbs sauteed butternut squash
- 2 pads real butter
- 2 slices of lard bread (if you can't find it, any fatty bread will work beautifully)






After you've gathered all your ingredients, put half the cheese on one of the slices of bread.


Now put some of the cooked butternut squash on there!


Pretty, right?! Ok now if you didn't eat all the bacon, put the rest on top.


It gets kind of tall at this point, but be brave and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.


Now it's time for the topper!


After about a minute or two it should be a nice golden brown.  At this point you'll want to pick it up with your spatula and toss in the remaining pad of butter.  Let it melt like before then flip the GC and put it back into the butter.


Then when it's like that on both sides take it off, slice it and eat it as quickly as you can.


Be sure to check out bread.butter.cheese on twitter and good ole' facebook.  You can find his number on either of the sites and if you live in the area I def recommend hitting him up for dank-licious sammie. Thanks Ronnie! yay!

Luckily for me, I have a great cheese guy at Whole Foods in Union Square. He recommended this killer cheese because it tasted like the toppings of a baked potato. I, of course, went a little overboard and ended up with this a few hours later...



Before I begin, I have got to tell you about Cotswold cheese. This English cheese is made from whole milk and has chives and onions in it. IT smelled so good that I absolutely had to buy it! Look at how pretty the slices of chives are:



Ok, so, because this is called the OMFbakedpotato I had to be serious when I was choosing my ingredients. I decided to go with:

-Cotswold Cheese
-uncured bacon (the cheese is salty enough!)
-sour cream
-butter
-potato bread



To make this sammie true to it's name I smeared some sour cream on both sides of the bread.



And then I laid the cheese down on each side to make a yummy cheesy glue so the bacon wouldn't fall out.



Next I laid that crispy bacon down on the cotswold.



Once I pressed them together I spread some butter on the the outer pieces of bread (you can also just use sour cream for this part too, it works!) I put it on the skillet which was set on medium.



I let it sit on the stove untouched until it was bronzed, then I flipped that baby!



Once it was equally golden I took it off the stove and let it sit for about a minute (or I tried at least, it just smelled so damn good). Once I couldn't wait any longer I sliced it and witnessed the miracle of cheese melting occur before my very eyes.



Enjoy!
