Live Gourmet Butter Lettuce

Yesterday we got an email from one of our customers (and blog readers), Calla in Carpinteria, California (where our headquarters are!).  She was inspired by the gluten free taco recipe and took to her own recipe creation, which she graciously shared with us (thank you!)

Lettuce tell you about Calla. Calla is a mom on a gluten-free diet who’s always trying to find tasty treats that she can eat. So Calla thought she’d send us her bright idea, using Live Gourmet butter lettuce (instead of bread), for a healthier grilled cheese sandwich.

Open face grilled cheese with some extra goodies

Here’s Calla’s recipe (makes one low carb grilled cheese sandwich!):

1/2 Tbsp butter (or substitute)
2 Leaves Live Gourmet Butter Lettuce
3 Slices Cheese

Melt butter in a pan. Put in leaf of lettuce with cheese slices on top. Cover first leaf and cheese with second lettuce leaf. Cook on very, very low heat (this is the important part), occasionally turning over, until the cheese is melted.
Calla also likes adding salsa and crushed up tortilla chips.
