Grilled cheese is a timeless classic. But if you’re feeling fancy, why not spend a few extra minutes upgrading this snack into a gourmet sandwich? Here are some ideas we know you’ll enjoy.

Brie, Fig Jam, and Prosciutto

This sweet-meets-savory combo blends creamy brie, a smear of fig jam, and salty prosciutto. Assemble the sandwich with these ingredients and grill until golden brown for a delightful contrast of flavors.

Apple and Cheddar

Thinly sliced, crisp apples paired with sharp cheddar offer a delightful contrast. Layer the apples and cheese between slices of bread and grill to melty perfection for a harmonious blend of sweet and tangy.

Caprese Grilled Cheese

Combine the classic Caprese salad elements with your sandwich. Layer fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, basil leaves, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a taste of Italy within your grilled cheese.

Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese 

Spice it up with sliced jalapeños, cream cheese, and cheddar. This zesty twist brings a hint of heat and creaminess reminiscent of jalapeño poppers.

Spinach and Artichoke

Create a delightful spinach and artichoke dip-inspired grilled cheese by mixing chopped artichoke hearts and spinach with melty mozzarella or provolone. Enjoy!
