Today, we’re taking your campfire cuisine to gourmet heights with a recipe that’s bursting with flavor, texture, and pure, melty goodness: the Grilled Cheese, Heirloom Tomato & Egg Sandwich. Forget the confines of your kitchen – we’re making this masterpiece on my trusty Camp Chef flat top grill, surrounded by the crackling fire and fresh air of the great outdoors.
Let’s face it, sometimes a classic grilled cheese just hits the spot. But why stop there? This recipe elevates the humble sandwich to new levels with the addition of juicy heirloom tomatoes and perfectly cooked eggs, creating a symphony of flavors and textures that will leave you wanting more.
And to truly embrace the campfire spirit, we’re using thick-cut San Luis sourdough bread, its tangy sourdough flavor perfectly complementing the richness of the cheese and the freshness of the summer tomatoes. Plus, who can resist a touch of heat? We’ll be adding a generous drizzle of our favorite hot sauce for a fiery kick that will wake up your taste buds.
