Not Your Everyday Grilled Cheese

One of my very favorite cold weather meals is grilled cheese and tomato soup. I know that the easy way to make grilled cheese would just be to slap a couple squares of American cheese on some bread and grill, but several years ago I found this recipe for Ultimate Grilled Cheese and have never gone back.

How to make Ultimate Grilled Cheese:
4 ounces soft cream cheese
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Combine cream cheese and mayonnaise. Mix in shredded cheeses and Italian seasoning.

Let your imagination go here. Use any two or three kinds of cheese you like. My personal favorite is Monterrey Jack cheese and Sharp Cheddar with a dash of Parmesan cheese. If you like spicy, you could throw in some diced/minced jalapenos.

Pile on a fair amount of the cheese mixture in your bread. The amount above makes 4 or 5 sandwiches. Sometimes I add a couple of slices of ham to each sandwich, too. Really any kind of sliced meat would work–my personal favorite is just ham.

Butter each side of the bread–mix up the bread you use, too. I’m using sourdough in these pictures, but I also like sliced french bread for little sandwiches. Grill in a hot skillet for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Slice in half –I was informed by my family that the correct way is to slice diagonally– and serve. Nothing better on these cooler nights than grilled cheese and tomato soup! Yum.

    This looks delicious! I am the grilled cheese queen in our family. My husband says no one makes them as good as I do. I think I may have to try this recipe next time we have grilled cheese to change things up a little bit! Can’t wait!!!

    Oh, these look wonderful! We had grilled cheese sandwiches last night…I see them on the menu this week, too.

    A recipe I learned a couple years ago, make up your sandwich, dip it into a french toast batter, then grill. Mmmmm, these 2 would go together perfectly…THE Ultimate Grilled Cheese 🙂
