Variations on a Favorite Sandwich: Grilled Cheese and Beyond!
Ah, grilled cheese sandwiches! All of my favorite sandwiches include melted cheese! There's something about the way the cheese oozes out of the bread and the flavor it adds to ordinary vegetables that I find memorable. I have been known to add cheese in some surprising places, it's true, but the sandwich combinations presented here are truly delicious!
Grilled cheese sandwiches combine well with soup. You can enjoy a smaller version of melted cheese with bread as a snack or as a canape or appetizer. Grilled cheese can be prepared as a gourmet lunch or can be as homely and comforting as a slab of cheese between two slices of bread.
This lens includes some favorite variations on the old standby, grilled cheese. I offer them to you with full confidence that you will enjoy them, too.

Grilled Cheese with Spinach and Sundried Tomatoes
Delicious Savoury Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients:Cheddar cheese
Handful of spinach leaves, wilted
Sundried tomatoes
Dijon mustard
Sliced whole grain bread
(For one sandwich) Spread one side of the bread slices with butter and lay one slice butter-side down on the pan. Spread the mustard on the other side of the bread. Put on enough slices of cheddar cheese to cover the surface of the bread. Wilt the spinach by pouring boiling water over it, then layer it on the cheese. Add some sundried tomatoes and top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up. Heat to toast the bread and to melt the cheese, flipping it over as needed. Mmmmm. Delicious!

Bagels with Apples and Melted Cheese
Fruit and Cheese Sandwich
This was my youngest son and my husband's favorite offering whenever I was late getting home and they made dinner together. I can never eat a bagel without thinking of how proud Patrick was as a first grader serving the family this special treat!For each person, slice one to two bagels and place on slightly greased cookie sheet. Slice several apples and arrange the slices on the bagels. Cover with slices of cheese (aged cheddar is our favorite). Depending on your palate, you could sprinkle some cinnamon on top or a little bit of Dijon mustard. Place in the oven at 350F and bake until the cheese melts and the apples soften slightly.
Thank you. Patrick, for making these treats over the years!

Wear an Apron to Make Your Sandwiches
Cook with Style!
Aprons are fun to wear. They make you feel like a professional chef! Even if you're only making sandwiches, an apron can be practical, too, as drippy tomatoes or gooey cheese falls on your apron instead of on your good clothes. It seems as if when I'm in a hurry cooking, I almost always spill food on myself!
