Doesn’t everyone just love a grilled cheese sandwich? April 12 is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day! So, just in time for patio weather, we are learning how to bring this tried-and-true favorite outside to the grill. With just a few simple ingredients you can create something delicious!
- Start with a not-too-hot pan and with room temperature butter to begin cooking.
- Pick a nice crusty bread. We chose a traditional sourdough and an out-of-the-box raisin pecan bread. About a half inch thick keeps your bread to cheese ratio just perfect.
- Spread both sides of bread with butter.
- Load it up with a variety of cheeses and fillings.
- Close the lid to get the middle melty, especially if you have a hearty filling like brisket or pulled pork.
When it’s toasty and melty, it’s done!
Keep in mind there are only a few ingredients in a grilled cheese so make each one count! Use seasonal fresh, ripe ingredients for your fillings and add-ons. It is hard to mess up when choosing flavors you love, so the sky is the limit!
Grilling the grilled cheese adds a smoky flavor you won’t get on the stovetop.
Happy Grilled Cheese Day!
