Everyone loves the classic grilled cheese sandwich...its easy and fast. Who wouldn't go for that?
But what if we tried adding a few new 'grown up' twists to the melty goodness?
I LOVE these ingredients that take the grilled cheese to a hold new level! They might sounds odd but trust me...they are good!
Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Melt 2 tbsps. butter in a non stick skillet over medium low heat. Form a sandwich out of two pieces of white bread (or bread of your choice) and some cheddar cheese. Place the sandwich in the pan and grill each side, until bread is golden and cheese is melted. Voila!
Now here are your mix in challenges that I have found and tried. These are my favorites....
1) The Californian: Prepare your classic grilled cheese but add in a few strips of cooked bacon, thinly sliced red onion and some ripe avocado before grilling. YUM!
2) The Artisan: Prepare your classic grilled cheese. Spread 2 tablespoons fig jam, a few slices prosciutto and some thin sliced ripe pear. Then cook. :)
3) The Dare Devil: Spread each side of your bread with the butter. Mix together a little bit of mayo and some cayenne pepper, spread evenly on each slice of bread (the 'inside' of the sandwich, as your butter will be spread on the outside). Place your cheese and then layer in some thin slices of tomato and a few leaves of arugula. Grill until golden and melty!
