Croutes de Fromage

Over The Moon Cafe

By Jake de Paul on October 11, 2010

Remember back in February 2005 when the so-called Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich sold on eBay for $28,000 (even though the image looked more like a brunette Mae West)? Just slightly less valuable but undoubtedly more tasty is Over The Moon Café's croutes de fromage, which rings in at $9. This version of the grilled cheese sandwich comes straight from the mountains of Jura, France, and includes thick slices of freshly baked sourdough bread, Gruyere cheese and mellow and moist Swiss cheese that has been soaked in a sweet white wine sauce before grilling. It's a gooey slab of true heaven as the mountain of flavored cheese melts to perfection. Warning: If their tomato basil soup is the soup du jour, get your ass there early. Tacoma is loaded with dippers.
