Toasted cheese

Here I am, after a long absence that has a just cause … beach holidays, it was finally time! I went to Abruzzo, the native village of my mother, where I used to go on holiday when I was a child to my grandmother’s house.

Can you imagine the happiness!

As you can see I’m back with a lot of local products, including a fantastic cheese, cow semi-hard cheese that we used to make roast.

This post is not intended to be a recipe, partly because everybody can make roasted cheese, it is just to share a dish I ate and that always reminds me of my vacation, in fact  It was my favorite dinner on Holiday.

Can I still give an idea to those who want to make something tasty in the evening or at least turn a dinner of cheese into something different with one move:

I remember when my grandmother, knowing my arrival for the summer holidays, bought a whole tray …. eh! Yes! my favorite desserts! I remember in the morning when I wake up, the scent of coffee go up the stairs and I  immediately slipped the costume just went down to the kitchen and here there waiting for the mythical orange thermos full of coffee ‘hot and sweet … so cilliprini’ I call them, cilliprini … (“celli stuffed” the jargon even so ‘) ..

I do not say the difficulty to find the grape jam, in the end I did it!
