Build a Better Grilled Cheese

When I was a kid, I loved grilled cheese with a crusty outside and soft melted cheese inside. I've probably eaten hundreds of grilled cheeses in my lifetime and now that I'm a healthy chef, I haven't stopped enjoying them; I just make them smarter. So you can still savor a grown-up version, keeping the gooey melted cheese, but with some add-ins to make it healthier and more flavorful.

A Crust Above the Rest
I love to use thinly sliced whole grain breads like pumpernickel, rye and wheat. Not only do they taste great when they crisp up, but whole grains have a host of health benefits including fiber and minerals. Use cooking spray and a teaspoon of olive oil to lower saturated fat, but keep that delicious crusty texture that makes grilled cheese so heavenly.

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.
