Even if you’re not the world’s greatest cook, odds are you can make one heck of a grilled cheese sandwich. That is what’s so extraordinary about the grilled cheese sandwich: As commonplace and convenient as this food is, it counts as a crowning culinary achievement, a nearly instantaneous reflection of our tastes and whims. It really is the king of comfort food.
This is food that nourishes the body and pleases the soul: Swiss cheese and ham piled high on rye—the opposite of fancy, and the very definition of delicious.
The sandwiches listed below were created by Sprouts’ cheese expert, Vicki, and bread authority, Mark. They have just the right combination of textures and flavors, as well as the power to satisfy the most fickle cravings. This list is for all the other cooks (and non-cooks) out there who are looking for new ways to put a little love between two slices of bread.
Instructions:
To assemble, spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on work surface. Add cheese and desired ingredients. Top with remaining bread slice, buttered side up. Heat skillet over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. Put sandwich into pan and cook 3–4 minutes, until underside is golden brown. Flip sandwich, pressing firmly with spatula to flatten slightly. Slice, serve and enjoy!
