Celebrate Grilled Cheese Month with These 8 Indulgent Recipes!

My Dearest Young Hollywood Readers,

Today, I’m going to make you “mmm”, “aah”, and “ooh-la-la”. I’m going to melt your hearts with cheesy goodness. I’m going to woo you with my crispy, buttery, golden crust and oozing waterfall of gastronomic dairy delight. 

Fellow grilled cheese fanatics, it’s time to pay homage to our favorite childhood (and adult) comfort food, 'cause April is National Grilled Cheese Month! This melt consisting of blissful layers of cheese, accessorized with butter and other assortments, snuggled in between two toasty slices of bread with a side of tomato soup is one of life’s little pleasures. Let’s celebrate by coating our taste buds in these Aphrodite-like grilled cheese sandwich recipes below.

Caramelized Apple Grilled Cheese - Cheddar Cheese met Apple Pie at a local coffee shop. Cheddar Cheese had no doubt that Apple Pie was the one. He was savory, she was sweet. As Fate would have it, these two came together in Grilled Cheese Heaven. The end.

Tyler's Mozzarella Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Wrap your mouth around this divine concoction and just enjoy every mouthwatering bite. Tomato, mozzarella, and basil-pesto sandwiched between rye bread all crispy, melty, rich, and flavorful... All I can say is molto delizioso!

Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Yummy and Tasty had a love-child, and Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese was born. This salty, bacon-y magnificence paired with the cool, creamy guacamole and jack and cheddar cheeses is out-of-the-park, World Series-kind of good.

Sloppy Joe Grilled Cheese - We start off with a brioche bun turned inside out. We top it with a hunk of shredded cheese. Then pile on the sloppy joe. Top with chips for an added crunch. Stack with more cheese. And lastly, butter the bread and grill. Food coma, here we come!

Mushroom Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Mushroom lovers, rejoice! This sandwich has the perfect balance of meatiness from the sauteed cremini mushrooms and onions plus the buttery, explosive decadence of the fontina and gruyere. Have your napkins and stretchy pants ready!

Croque Madame - Have you ever heard of a Croque Monsieur? Well, it’s a a ham-and-cheese concoction smothered in cheesy bechamel sauce. The Croque Madame is very similar, but lighter. Instead of the bechamel sauce, it’s topped with an egg yolk. Absolutely egg-centric! 

Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Roasted jalapeno peppers, cream cheese, jack and cheddar cheeses, tortilla chips, and sourdough bread... the combination of these ingredients will send you to the Moon. Spicy, smoky, creamy, crunchy, can’t-stop-eating kind of good.  

The Old Goat - This is definitely putting my Kraft-cheese-and-Wonder-Bread grilled cheese sandwich to shame. And in case you were wondering... I live on processed food. French goat cheese, roasted peppers, mushrooms, rosemary, thyme, and pita bread... what’s not to love?!

Next time you want to profess your love to someone, just tell them they are the melted cheese to your toast. And if they don’t proclaim their love back, than they may be leaving you for someone who is the bacon or tomato to their grilled cheese sandwich. Sad but true...
