OMG! I forgot.iToday is National Grilled Cheese Day!

[The Count of Merkur Cristo]

Good and gooey, cheesy and creamy, the grilled cheese sandwich pushes some serious comfort food buttons!

"It's National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, and there's no better time to hail this underrated, overlooked sandwich. Neither The New Food Lover's Companion nor The Oxford Companion to Food devote an entry to grilled cheese (the outrage!), but it is generally acknowledged that the modern grilled cheese sandwich started in the 1920s. But cooked bread and cheese goes back to ancient times.

If there is one true and constant fact in the universe, it is that grilled cheese will never cease to be one of the most perfect foods and more important human creations. That’s why, in honor of National Grilled Cheese Day on April 12, you should celebrate with some of the best, most outrageously good grilled cheese recipes out there — because a day without grilled cheese is a day wasted.

The secret to perfect grilled cheese is all about selecting the right type of cheese for your sandwich. More often than not, a mix of cheeses will create the right mix of gooey, melty, and overall deliciousness. But there are other grilled cheese hacks that will also result in an even more perfect sandwich. For example, coating each side of bread in mayonnaise before placing it on a hot pan will result in an even more buttery taste, and shredding cheese instead of slicing it will ensure totally even melting. With practice, it is possible to make the grilled cheese of your dreams, and with a little creativity, things can get really crazy.

These 18 recipes will help you to celebrate Grilled Cheese Day in the most wild way. Sure, a classic grilled cheese is always good with tomato soup, but why not think outside of the box? If there’s anything that’s certain in this world, it’s that when it comes to the ways we can enjoy grilled cheese, the limit does not exist".

The Count nailed it. We have a grilled cheese at least once a week. Add a little spare sliced chicken or pastrami. Deli mustard always welcome. Tomato soup with a little touch of milk or cream . . and dunk your sandwich. . . comfort food. (and it is very quick and easy to make)

Great post. Grilled cheese sandwiches are a simple pleasure.

It would be nice if I knew about this earlier.

Maybe Georgia would have fixed me a couple grilled cheese sandwiches.

am I the only one who likes raisin cinnamon bread with white American cheese, grilled in a cast iron skillet. It's a great breakfast with a cup of good coffee.

I ate something else today, but I saw something I want to try: grilled cheese with sliced avocado (or make a guacamole, if you prefer).

That's going on my "to try" list!

I usually like my grilled cheeses for lunch... oat bread, horseradish cheddar cheese, a dollop of sambal ooelek in the center, a ton of butter to keep it from sticking and burning, and let it cook up on the cast iron skillet. I like to dip mine in a bowl of meat ravioli (I never eat meat ravioli except with grilled cheese).

I made some grilled cheese sandwiches for my wife and I today. Added some sprouted seeds. . . radish, broccoli, alfalfa, to slices of Canadian cheddar on twelve grain bread.

I butter the cinnamon raisin bread also before putting it on the cast iron skillet. When the bread toasts, it really sweetens the cinnamon and raisins. The melted white American cheese oozing between, pairs great with the sweet taste. And the pour over coffee along just makes it all come together.

Excellent, fast breakfast when on the go.
