    Serves 1

    2 slices sourdough bread
    2 oz. shredded or thinly sliced cheese (melty cheese only)
    Unsalted butter, softened
    4 fresh sage leaves
    1 Tbsp. Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
    Cornichons, or pickles
    Whole grain mustard

    1. Heat a skillet on medium heat. Spread one slice of bread with butter on one side. Press 2 sage leaves on top, & swipe with more butter so they adhere. Repeat with second slice.
    2. Lay one slice of bread in hot pan, butter-side down. Place cheese on top. Top with second slice of bread, butter-side up. Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden & cheese melts.
    3. Sprinkle 1/2 the Parmigiano atop the sandwich. Flip the sandwich, cook for just a few seconds to crisp the cheese, & repeat with remaining Parm on other side. Serve with pickles & mustard. less

      Blackberry Cornmeal Cake

      You can substitute an equal amount of fresh blueberries for the blackberries; be sure to rinse and dry them thoroughly before scattering over the batter.

      Yellow cornmeal produces a dessert that has a rich, golden color, but you could use white cornmeal instead.
