This sandwich is a step up from the classic plain grilled cheese but it’s still a very down to earth meal.
Fresh tarragon, a mix of ground yellow mustard seeds, cheddar cheese and caramelized Bourbon shallots stuffed between two slices of sourdough.
Fry it on both sides and you’re done. Quick, very easy and delicious!

The cool tones in the pickles and jar do a wonderful job of adding balance and depth against the warm reddish browns in the sandwich. Well done.
