National Grilled Cheese Day!




Today is National Grilled Cheese Day. I don't know who decides these fake holidays, but my favorite sandwich is a grilled cheese, so I'm going with it.

It is pouring down rain this morning and a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup, of course, sounds very appealing. If you're into grilled cheese, here are some links you might like:

As a kid I only wanted plain American cheese melted onto white bread, but as an adult I've been getting into interesting combinations, like these:


Spinach-artichoke grilled cheese


Jalapeno popper grilled cheese

Farmers' market grilled cheese (recipe calls for zucchini, spinach, tomato, and mayonnaise!! I would pass on the mayo, but otherwise it looks really good!)

You can click on the picture and/or source link under each picture to go to the recipe.

I think I'm going to have one like in the first picture--with melted mozzarella, tomato, and basil.


Do you like grilled cheese sandwiches? How do you make them?

  2. Oh gosh, I was hungry before I read this post and now I'm drooling. Seriously. I love grilled cheese, too. All of them look fantastic, but the Jalapeno popper one really stands out. Thanks for the great ideas!

  3. I love grilled cheese, especially with a thin slice of great ham and a bit of mustard. :o)

  4. I wonder if this is a worldwide celebration. I happened to make my children grilled cheese on toast (ie open sandwiches) for lunch today so it seems I celebrated without even knowing it. I am something of a traditionalist personally - I don't think you can go past a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich but that seems pretty mundane compared to some of those above.

  7. Grilled Cheese sandwiches will always be comfort food to me, and a happy childhood memory. (Especially since my younger brother thought my Mom said "Girl Cheese sandwich", and insisted that his be called a "Boy Cheese sandwich" from then on.) Now I see your post! Those sandwiches look more gourmet than I ever could have imagined -- and absolutely scrumptious! Time to go follow those recipes! :o)
