Grilled Cheese!

edited July 2015 in February 2016 Moms
I don't have many talents but, of the few I do have, making a killer grilled cheese is one of them (if I do say so myself).

My dh wants me to try a new kind tonight- any suggestions??

These are some of the kinds I've already tried...

Fall Harvest (my personal fave): Gouda, cheddar, apple butter, sliced apples, toasted hazelnuts in brown butter and arugula

Summer seasonal: spicy bourbon peach chutney, bbq shredded chicken, cheddar and Swiss

Spring green: herbed cheese spread, fontina, mozzarella, avocado, pesto and arugula

Spinach artichoke grilled cheese

Jalepeno popper grilled cheese

Pepperoni pizza grilled cheese

And, of course, the classic ...

I need more ideas so thought it'd be fun to crowd source a bunch of pregnant women :)

    OMG I'm texting my husband your description of the spring green above now.

    We make one called a chicken hog. It is pepper jack cheese, grilled or baked chicken slices, bacon, lettuce and tomato. Of course you can always add more cheese

    Fyi I use Alouette or Boursin as the cheese spread

    Your list sounds so amazing & yummy!

    I like tuna melts! Or Monte Cristos. https://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/20803/monte-cristo-sandwich/ I like to sprinkle a little powdered sugar on it while it's still hot.

    What kind of bread do you like to use for your sandwiches?

  • My husband makes what I think is the perfect grilled cheese :) of course I'm partial, but it's cheesy, gooey, a little spicy, and omg I really want a grilled cheese now lol

    One slice Swiss on one side, one slice of velveeta (or whatever milder melty cheese you'd like), a slice of tomato in the middle, and horseradish spread on the inside of both slices of bread. Yummmmmmm
  • Omg, I want a grilled cheese with tomato soup for lunch now.... Damned it I don't think I even have what I need for this. I seriously need to go grocery shopping!
  • You are impressive with your grilled cheese skills!  It's the only thing I ate for lunch this week.  I admit that I might have had 2.

  • I'm totally making one right now at 9am lol!!

  • These are my ideas so far:

    Buffalo chicken grilled cheese- I'd do shredded buffalo chicken in a spicy buffalo sauce, some sort of bleu cheese sauce and cheddar with celery salt

    Loaded baked potato: chive sour cream/cream cheese spread, candied bacon and cheddar on potato bread

    But both of these my baby isn't necessarily feeling today -ha. So, they may go on the back burner for now.

    All I want now is a grilled cheese..... counting down the hours til I leave work now! Yum yum yum yum!

    Also, grilled cheese with homemade guacamole. I used to make them for DH while we were dating and called them "proposal sandwiches", cause it was so good that if this grilled cheese didn't make him propose, I don't know what will!

    These are amazing! I'm so hungry now!
  • Can I take you in as a sister wife? I mean just for your grilled cheese skills of course.

    I had one with blueberry goat cheese one time (can't remember what else was in there). I still have dreams about it!

    As a grilled cheese connoisseur, I'm embarrassed to say I don't like goat cheese :(
    But I love the idea of a blueberry something in there!

    Maybe it's a Cashew thing. DH doesn't like it either. It's tearing our marriage apart!

    But seriously, blueberry and brie is a brilliant combination too!




  • Google Hawaiian Grilled Cheese. You won't be disappointed.

  • I totally went to Panera drive through and got a kids grilled cheese ... For myself. All because of this post!
  • I decided on the loaded baked potato but instead of potato bread I'm going to use bakery bread but add really thinly sliced skillet cooked potatoes with the mixture of sour cream and cream cheese, chives, cayenne-maple candied bacon, and cheddar.

    Yum!!! Everything sounds so good! Ready to eat grilled cheese for the next week with all these recipes!
  • I don't usually eat grilled cheese but I've been eating a lot of it this pg. BTW, if you are ever in Ohio, we have a gourmet grilled cheese restaurant called Melt that's insanely good and dangerous for a pregnant woman to wander into

  • I can't even look at most of these suggestions.. I don't consider it grilled cheese though if it has anything other than cheese and condiments, lol. I do like grilled cheese though. Only additions I like are pepperoni, Bologna, and ham.

    We have melt in ny too - it's a chain but I'm not a fan :(
    They use this cheese sauce instead of real cheese I don't like

    Oh no no no. It is not the same. The one I'm talking about was started by a local culinary student. He has only opened 4 locations to date. https://meltbarandgrilled.com
