Grilled Cheese Made Even Greater
Kids love an ooey gooey grilled cheese sandwich as a homemade lunch that satisfies. Cold sandwiches are the usual go-to, but it doesn’t take long to fry up a grilled cheese sandwich on a weekend afternoon.
Plain is perfect, but when you want to get creative, you can take your grilled cheese up a notch with tasty tweaks. Your extra touches will make the meal even more mouthwatering, and the kids won’t leave a crumb behind.
These recipe modifications are quick and easy, almost as simple as a PB & J. Serve with a hot cup of tomato soup and some chips or raw veggies and dip, and lunch is ready in no time!
Note: All sandwiches are made the same way – butter the bread on both sides, stack 2 slices of cheese (and additional ingredients) in between, and fry on a low-medium temperature pan until golden brown and heated throughout. Choose whatever type of bread and cheese your kid loves or go with the recommendations below.

You can eat any of these sandwiches uncooked too, but the warm and toasty bread is always extra appealing. Enjoy!
