VV Grilled Cheese



When your girls ask for grilled cheese and you have a spare chicken cutlet on hand, you end up with a VV grilled cheese for yourself!

What’s VV? Well, the bread’s shape reminded me of a cartoon whale, which reminded me of a whale logo… and then VV.

Typically I like grilled cheese sans tomato, but I think it might belong in here next time around!

This bread is from The Italian Bread shop in Springfield, MA.

Sous vide cheddar burger


Sous vide is a great way to cook burgers, especially huge ones.  It is also perfect for cooking a burger stuffed with something else.  Today we sous vide an 8-ounce burger filled with aged cheddar.

We learned this time around to check the melting point of the cheese.  In this example, the cheese softened but did not melt. Next time we’ll use different cheese to see what happens!

Ingredients:

  • (2) 1/4 pound beef patties (85/15 angus recommended)
  • 3 year aged cheddar
  • 1 slice American cheese
  • Hamburger bun

Instructions:

  1. Heat sous vide bath to 134 F
  2. Slice cheddar
  3. Lightly press cheddar into one beef patty
  4. Put second patty on top and press down gently
  5. Press a little more firmly around the perimeter to ensure contact between the two patties
  6. Optional – Get a strip of plastic wrap about 2 inches wide
    Tip: We like to get a 4 inch section and fold it in half
  7. Optional – Wrap around edges of burger
    Tip: This aged cheddar doesn’t melt at 134 for 1 hour, so the wrap is not necessary. For other cheeses it may be useful to prevent leakage.
  8. Season with salt and pepper
  9. Seal in vacuum bag on moist setting
  10. Cook for 1 hour in sous vide bath
  11. Heat grill or pan to medium high heat
  12. Remove from sous vide
  13. Remove plastic wrap
  14. Sear  1st side 15 seconds
  15. Flip
  16. Add American cheese
  17. Sear for 15 seconds or until cheese melted to your taste
  18. Put it on a bun
  19. Enjoy!
