Freezing I do not suggest

For a fire grilled cheese, look no further! The chicken is juicy, the haloumi cheese explodes in your mouth and the sweet mayonnaise balances out the salty side of the cheese. You will want more! To be served with a good chilled Sauvignon Blanc like the Liquid Light from Washington State!

Avant-Garde

White German wheat beer this weizen will bring you typical notes of clove and banana. The sweetness of the beer's aromas will join the cream, the parmesan and the vegetables of the dish. Silky in the mouth thanks to the wheat in the recipe, it will join the creamy texture of the casserole. Dry, not very bitter and refreshing, it is easy to drink between each bite. See the product
