GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. -- Gold Nugget Tavern and Grill might be known for some of their famous hamburgers, but that is not the only classic comfort food they specialize in. Gold Nugget is putting its twist on the classic grilled cheese for your enjoyment.
Beginning Saturday, Gold Nugget will begin its Grilled Cheese special that runs the entire month of February. The traditional grilled cheese will be transformed with non-traditional grilled cheese ingredients as Executive Chef, Elijah Renn, shares his cheesy creations with KARE 11.
Try their apple, bacon and gruyere grilled cheese sandwich. Thick cut maple bacon, sliced granny smith apples, triple cream brie & gruyere griddled together between two pieces of whole wheat bread is a great twist on the classic.
If that doesn't get your mouth watering, other grilled cheese creations might. Try to make the cheesy creations at home with the list of provided ingredients below or head out to Gold Nugget in Minnetonka.
Croque Monsieur: Ham and Gruyere on sourdough bread, topped with Bechamel sauce and baked in the oven.
