Simple Supper: Italian Grilled Cheese


Last night, I needed a fast, easy dinner so I could slump down on the couch and watch the Golden Globes. I made what I affectionately (and probably inaccurately) refer to as an Italian grilled cheese. It's filled with gooey mozzarella, prosciutto and some torn basil. Paired with a bowl of tomato soup and kale chips, it made for a perfect cold day comfort meal.

    Yum! Looks delicious! Sometimes I coat my bread with a little balsamic before cooking----either way--always love a good grilled cheese.

    There's really nothing like a grilled cheese sandwich. It's one of my favorite go-to meals. I like to experiment with different types of cheese, to spice things up a bit, but I always come back to mozzarella -- it's my favorite.

    This is one of my favorite things to make at Panera! A good grilled cheese sandwich is utterly satisfying. (Also, adding sliced tomatoes to the entree is delicious!)

    This sounds a-ma-zing. Grilled cheese is my favourite food and I love adding new things the jazz it up. My favourite is cheddar and caramelized apple slices.

    My favorite dinner, in a nutshell. I like to call mine "fancy grilled cheese" when I add things like herbs ;)

    I made this for a small cozy dinner party (with some tomato soup) and they absolutely loved it. I got this in an email the next day from one of our dinner quests "this is the best sandwich of my life." I have to agree. It was awesome.

    Thanks!!!
