Ah, the grilled cheese sandwich. Everyone takes it for granted. Get a couple of slices of bread and a few slices of cheese and you have yourself a meal. Maybe throw in a bowl of soup with it. But the grilled cheese is actually one of the more versatile sandwiches you can make. I often add tomato to mine, or mix up the type of cheese I use. I often toast the bread too (healthier).
AOL Food has a gallery of various grilled cheese recipes for you to try, including a Buttery Fig and Blue Cheese Melt, a Dutch Grilled Cheese (which includes onions, cumin, Gouda, and caraway), a Smoky Southwestern Grill (which includes mozzarella, goat cheese, and tomato on Italian Bread, and The Best Grilled Cheese, with cheddar cheese on sourdough bread. There are eight sandwiches in all.

While on the topic of grilled cheese, if you're in the Cleveland area, there is a great grilled cheese restaurant in Lakewood called Melt. It is a converted bar at Detroit and Warren. If you go, you won't regret it.

Try a grilled Bre on baguette sandwich. If the brie is of good quality and the baguette is fresh, the melting brie on the toasted baguette is delicious.

most cheese is a no-no 'cause I have chronic kidney failure and am on a low salt diet. I really miss my cheese. Any tips?

i agree that toasting the bread is 100% more preferable for any kind of cheese sandwich, but how does toasting the bread make it healthier??

If you just toast the bread in a toaster then you're not using any butter or margarine or anything that you might use otherwise.
