Today is grilled cheese sandwich day and I thought that I would take the opportunity commemorate the day by rounding up some of my favorites grilled cheese sandwich recipes. I was not at all surprised to find that I had well over ten grilled cheese sandwich recipes and that I would be able to do this roundup. I certainly have been enjoying experimenting with grilled cheese sandwiches!

Some might think that the grilled cheese sandwich is a little boring but I have been discovering that they can be quite exciting. The basic grilled cheese sandwich consists of bread, butter and cheese and it is grilled until it is golden brown and the cheese has melted. After starting with the basic recipe, feel free to experiment by changing the cheese or the bread and adding other things to the sandwich whether they are savoury or sweet. Here are a few of my favorite grilled cheese sandwich experiments.


Caramelized Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich - This has to be my favorite take on a grilled cheese sandwich so far! Apples and cheddar are a great flavour combo and this grilled cheese sandwich is a perfect example with the sweet and savoury coming together to form something greater than the sum of its parts.




Kimchi Grilled Cheese Sandwich - The sweet and savoury combo appears several times in this roundup but lets not forget spicy! Kimchi packs a ton of flavour and it works really well with melted cheese! (This sandwich is the perfect hangover food.)




Lobster Grilled Cheese Sandwich - When you think about a grilled cheese sandwich you think of quick, simple and cheap but there is nothing stopping you from indulging every once in a while and this lobster grilled cheese certainly is decadent.




Onion Chutney Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Sweet and spicy chutneys are made to be wrapped in buttery grilled bread and smothered in melted cheese and this onion chutney grilled cheese is a perfect example.




Mushroom and Prosciutto Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Mushrooms are one of my favorite foods and I could not resist using them in grilled cheese form! You really can't go wrong with sauteed and caramelized mushrooms wrapped in warm, melted ooey gooey cheese!




Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Mango and Cardamom Jam - When I first heard about using jam in a grilled cheese I was a bit surprised as I had never thought about it but it turns out to be quite good! I like to test out my new homemade jams in grilled cheese sandwiches.




Grilled Deviled Ham - Deviled ham is a new discovery, essentially a spicy ham salad, and it works really well when grilled up with melted cheese!




Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Green Tomato and Jalapeno Jam - This was another experiment with using jams in grilled cheese sandwiches and the spicy jalapeno green tomato jam made for a perfect combination of sweet, savoury and spicy in this grilled cheese sandwich!




Grilled Roast Beef and Cheese Sandwich - Roast beef sandwiches are another of my favorites that are even better in grilled cheese form! The next time you have some roast beef leftovers, earmark some of them for a grilled roast beef sandwich with plenty of onions and peppers.




Grilled Turkey and Brie Sandwich with Cranberry Chutney - This turkey grilled cheese sandwich with cranberry chutney is another great way to use up some leftovers, turkey leftovers in this case, and the cranberry chutney and turkey combo makes you think of the holidays when eating it.
