I finally got a chance to make a recipe that I had been wanting to try for weeks. My sister lives in Chicago and told me she had recently tried some appetizers that were based on a P,B and J sandwich but also included stinky French cheese and it was also served hot. This may sound unappealing at best but that’s why I wanted to try it. Plus… another excuse to drink Napa Cellars wine.

Ingredients:

Sour Dough Bread

Cashew Butter

Fig Jam/Jelly

Raclette Cheese

Butter

Assembly: Pretty straight forward, just put cashew butter on both pieces of bread, it sticks together better.

Butter both sides and  Panini press it.  Or you can toast it like a grilled cheese in a frying pan

Raclette cheese and Sauvignon Blanc are a good pair so that’s what I went with… ’ not an expert wine/food pair-er but it tasted great to me.  You have to try this one, inexpensive and super easy to make, but lots of complex flavors.
