If your family is like our family, we eat a lot of grilled cheese because they are easy and the kids love them. But, Don and I are so tired of boring, old grilled cheese. So, I created my version of a Gourmet Grilled Cheese reminiscent of a sandwich I had at a local restaurant. Enjoy!

A delicious, adult-version of grilled cheese that can be made right beside the kids'! Don't settle for yellow "cheese" again!
