I received this recipe via email tonight, as I was already craving some grilled cheese with our soup, and I made it instantly. WOW! The combo of the onions, dates, and balsamic alone is amazing… then the cheese (vegan)!! Wow, just… wow! Now I want to make a “white” pizza and have this as a topping. Go try THIS recipe!!
