Grilled Cheese

I’ve been wanting to visit Cross Section since they opened earlier this year, but somehow the timing never worked out — until now. And what better way to celebrate the end of my cutting season (hello, new low!) than with a massive grilled cheese? Honestly, this might just be the best cheese toastie in Sydney.

This toastie hit all the right notes. Grilled cheese usually screams dense and heavy, but not this one. The bread was light and airy, with a super crunchy, cheesy outer shell that was just chef’s kiss. It’s the textures that really made this shine — gooey cheese in the middle, crunchy edges, and grated cheese on top for good measure. The apricot jam added a sweet touch that worked so well with the rich cheeses.

If there’s one thing I’d point out, it’s the jalapeño. I know it’s in there, but I could barely taste it. A little more heat would’ve taken this toastie to the next level, but honestly, I’m not complaining. This grilled cheese was worth every single calorie 😂. Safe to say, I’ll be back to try more of their sandwiches — and soon.
