This perfect grilled cheese sandwich is one of the kids’ favorites!! They’re also huge fans of Pigs in a Blanket, Chicken Tenders, and Pizza Casserole.
A Family Classic to Love!
Can we all agree that Grilled Cheese Sandwiches are THE BEST?! It’s become a tradition in our home to make them every Sunday for lunch after getting home from church. We sometimes have homemade White Bread handy to help make the best grilled cheese. Why we love them:
A classic. I think it’s safe to say that this grilled cheese recipe is an American classic, definitely a popular family dinner! Quick. It’s ready in only 5 minutes for a quick meal! Change it up. While we love the classic, sometimes we add a little ham! Tasty. No matter how you make it, serve it up with a bowl of soup (especially our favorite Tomato Soup) for the best flavor and melty cheese goodness!
The ingredients
slices of artisan bread- sourdough, Sourdough bread, challah, ciabatta, hearth, Italian, baguettes, rye, and brioche. It can be store-bought or homemade. Day-old bread lends to a better-browned crust. cheddar cheese & provolone cheese slices – see below for more ideas (you want a cheese that will melt well) butter garlic salt (with parsley flakes)
How to Make Grilled Cheese
Serving suggestions. Try a grilled cheese sandwich with a pickle and chips, tomato soup, or another soup like Cheesy Cauliflower Soup, Sweet Potato Soup, Carrot Soup, Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup, or Creamy Tomato Basil Soup.
Or try Mozzarella, Gruyere, Provolone, Fontina, Taleggio, Raclette, Muenster, Colby, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, Swiss Cheese, Brie, Havarti, or Sharp Cheddar.
Storing
STORE. Wrap the cooled leftover sandwiches in aluminum foil. They can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days. FREEZE. Wrap each sandwich with plastic wrap then again with foil. Freeze for 1-2 months. Reheat leftover grilled cheese on the stovetop for the best results. Use a toaster oven or a microwave in a pinch. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan. If the sandwich is frozen then only use low heat, otherwise, use medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan. Cover the pan with the lid. Place it slightly askew to avoid a build-up of steam. Heat both sides of the sandwich until warm and the cheese is melty.
