We here at Slashfood actually had a grilled cheese day back in 2005, but today is the official Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day.
Everyone has their own way of making a grilled cheese. Some people are very strict and only use American cheese and white bread. Some get creative with their breads, and some add tomato and fresh basil.
The sandwich above, by the way, is this Breakfast Cinnamon-Raisin Apple Grilled Goat Cheese Sandwich.
But whatever you do, don't make this one. Trust me.

I have found that if your bread has enough flavor (good quality whole multi-grain) then using a little of the reduced-fat cheddar works out pretty well. If you must have that fake plastic-cheese flavor you can add some low-fat singles. They taste near-normal now.
