Grilled Cheese, 4 Ways
Elevate the sandwich from standard to surprising.
Cheddar, Bacon, and Tomato on Seven-Grain
The bacon and tomato are the classic add-ons. Seven-grain bread lends a heartier bite (shown).
Mozzarella, Roasted Red Peppers, and Pesto on Focaccia
Snag the focaccia from the nearest bakery, the pesto and peppers (in a jar) from the grocery store. Add a bottle of Chianti, and mangia.
Feta, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and Olive Tapenade in a Pita
For a mini Mediterranean escape, have the grilled pita tonight, then use up the leftover Feta, tomatoes, and bottled tapenade in a Greek salad tomorrow.
Muenster, Avocado, and Sprouts on Sourdough
Even though it is all good for you, this silky-textured sandwich with subtle flavors and the tang of sourdough might just end up being your go-to grilled cheese for rainy nights.
