Building a Better Grilled Cheese

by Marisa McClellan, Posted Mar 2nd 2009 @ 1:02PM

I believe that if you're going to indulge in something like a grilled cheese sandwich, you should go all out. Butter the bread, use plenty of cheese and make something you'll really enjoy. I wouldn't recommend eating one of these babies every day, but once in a while, it's a perfectly good treat (especially when dunked in a bowl of oven roasted tomato soup).

However, I know that there are lots of you out there for whom a once in a while grilled cheese just doesn't cut it. For you, SELF Magazine has put together an article in which they try to help you elevate your grilled cheese to a slightly healthier level (it is still cheese and bread though, so don't be thinking that it's a diet food) by suggesting the addition of fruits and vegetables in your 'wich (I'm a fan of some green apple slices in with cheddar cheese) and reminding you to swap whole grain bread in for the classic white.
