Grilled Cheese

     How about that old favorite we forget about. The grilled cheese sandwich. Old comfort food we ate as children. Usually with white bread and yellow American cheese. The kind of stuff American households had on hand before we got all fancy. The same sandwich you got in diners and restaurants. 
     But look at all the different varieties of grilled cheese sandwich are possible. You can change up the bread and kind of cheese. You can even add meat and vegetables. 
     I am surprised  how many people do not think of a grilled cheese sandwich or if they do to change up the cheese. Try a jalapeno monterey jack cheese on a sandwich. Try Swiss cheese. Havarti. Cheddar. Check out boarshead for many choices.
      As far as bread goes. I have used white bread and wheat. The wheat bread has fell apart for me. I whole grain bread is said to work fine. I have yet to try that. Also add a cold cut meat. Any kind that you like. You can also add tomatoes and pickles on the side. Add them after the sandwich is done. 
     To make the basic grilled cheese sandwich. Two pieces of white bread. Two slices of American cheese. Butter the outside of the two pieces of bread. Slick the cheese in the middle. Put it in a pan at medium heat. Check and turn as needed. A nice medium brown on each side is desired. Easy as that. 
     That same method is used with whatever cheese or bread you use. Maybe I did something wrong, but I have had wheat bread just fall apart. Try it yourself. I may have messed up as I have many times. 
     Once you get going you can add banana peppers, onions or any vegetable you like. The choices are endless. Just see what you, your friends and family like. And or course that may change. So change. 
     That old quick meal your mother used to make for you can be something that you can also use for a nice little lunch or supper. I encourage you to go to the Boar's Head website. It has a deli section. You can check out all the meats and cheeses that will work for you. You can also get all the nutritional information you will need to decide which meats or cheeses are right for you. 
     Meat is becoming very expensive. As it has in years past. A lot of folks are going to a more vegetable based diet. Grilled cheese may be it for you.
