10x the tastiest grilled cheese sandwiches

dikke tosti

We’re crazy about grilled cheese sandwiches, and for weeks now we’ve thrown every concern about carbs or fat overboard. Pre-corona, we would sometimes still think about ‘healthy’ and ‘watching our weight’ in some murky corner of our brains, and so on – now it’s bread, cheese, fat, meat and beans calling the shots (hello frankfurter sandwiches). And that’s why: ten fantastic grilled cheese sandwiches!

10x the tastiest grilled cheese sandwiches

French Melt grilled cheese with caramelized onion

So decadent, with such an umami kick—simply delicious. Take your time with it and then enjoy every indulgent bite.

Gruyère and red wine grilled cheese

This one is no slouch either: a hefty sandwich with a red wine roux and our Swiss favorite

Cheddar and jalapeño grilled cheese

Delicious, especially if you can find a properly sharp Cheddar. Heat on heat, so to speak, and nobody says you can’t dip it into a dollop of salsa from a jar.

Sauerkraut, Munster cheese and bacon grilled cheese

Really. Very. Good. Don’t hesitate, just do it. And go ahead and melt some cheese on the top as well.

Tandoori chicken grilled cheese

A little trip to the East with this spicy naan grilled cheese. Chicken, tandoori spices, cheese and mango chutney—what are you waiting for? Go make it!

Vegan grilled cheese with hummus and walnut pesto

Vegans can get their grilled cheese fix too with this lovely pumpkin-filled, plant-based version.

Cheese/grilled eggplant grilled cheese

Actually delicious with all grilled vegetables (an editorial favorite too!), so first toss a few slices of eggplant in oil and put them on your grill! And if you can’t be bothered: Turkish shops, and often supermarkets too, sell those extremely handy jars of pre-grilled vegetables…

Cumin cheese and pastrami grilled cheese

Also sooo delicious: this spiced grilled cheese with oozing cheese and chewy, thick slices of pastrami. By the way, it’s also great with another dollop of that sauerkraut!

And as a grand finale, two sweet grilled cheese sandwiches. Take a breather and put the cheese away. Phew, you’ve definitely earned dessert…

Apple pie grilled cheese!

Brilliant, right?! The ultimate treat: soft, sweet apple pie in a kind of French toast jacket, oh my god

Nutella ‘grilled cheese’

Okay, this is really more of a member of the French toast family, but we’re absolutely not being strict right now, agreed? There’s a time and place for being strict, and that is not when French toast and Nutella are involved!
