Grilled Cheese

Posted by MelissaE Jan 16, 2008

OK, OK, this one isn't the healthiest recipe in the world. But it's really good and really easy -- a new twist to the basic grilled cheese.

Ingredients

  • Whole Grain Bread (Not just whole wheat - make sure it's got real grains in it!)
  • Butter
  • 1 lg. Onion
  • Cilantro
  • 1 Lg. tomato
  • Provolone Cheese
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Swiss Cheese

Cut onion in slices and sautee until soft. Butter one side of both slices of bread. Place one slice of bread (butter side down) in a pan over medium heat and layer with ingredients in this order: One cheese, cooked onion, another cheese, cilantro pieces and tomato slice, final cheese, then finish with the last piece of bread, butter side up. Flip and cook to until golden.

This looks delish! Just add a little tomatoe soup and you got yourself the perfect 'snow-day' meal from back in the day!

How about tomato & red pepper soup? Check out the next recipe post for a new twist on tomato soup to go with my version of grilled cheese. :)

Wow! Awesome 'adult' grilled cheese. I didn't have cilantro and sub'ed with basil. I'm hooked. I'll try with your tomato soup next time.
