Who doesn't love an old-fashioned grilled cheese? Perfect for midnight snacks or curing hangovers, these rich sandwiches always hit the spot. Well, today, Kate from Wit & Delight shares how to make the best two versions, one savory, one sweet...
The Best Grilled Cheese Sandwiches You'll Ever Have
By Kate from Wit & Delight
Hi all! I'm delighted to share two variations on the classic grilled cheese sandwich with you today. I love a good grilled cheese sandwich, and I'm always looking for ways to spice things up. By adding a few unexpected ingredients, you'll satisfy both your sugar and salt cravings with these gooey sandwiches. Enjoy!
Recipe: Savory Grilled Cheese
You'll need:
Sourdough bread
Bacon
Avocado
Hot sauce, like Siracha
White cheddar cheese
Unsalted butter
Fry the bacon until cooked, but not too crispy. Assembled each sandwich with avocado, cooked bacon, cheddar, and hot sauce. Fry the sandwich in the leftover bacon drippings. Grill until bread is brown and cheese is melty.
Recipe: Sweet Grilled Cheese
You'll need:
Multigrain bread
Nutella
Pear
Brie
Salted butter
Spread a layer of Nutella on the bread. Top with thinly sliced pears and brie. Butter both sides of the bread. Grill until the outside is toasted brown and the cheese is melty.
Delicious. Thank you, Kate.
P.S. Best egg sandwich, and best chocolate ice cream.

I mean really, Siracha and Bacon...my two favorite things..in a sandwich!? Oh man, I think I'm in foodie heaven!
I have never tried a sweet sandwich - looks intriguing. The savory one is totally making my mouth water!
YUM! Avocado on just about anything means I want to eat it. Now.
I love this new weekly feature! Loving the grilled cheese sandwiches, and I can't wait for more!
This is making me so hungry! I am obsessed with avocado.
These look absolutely amazing, I will have to try it out for myself :)
(I'm also loving this food serious... I'm looking forward to the next "best" thing!)

They look so delicious! I'm craving a sandwich now! Just in time for lunch! Thanks!
I am really loving this series! It's such a great idea and these foods all look SOOOO good! Can't wait to try these combos for grilled cheese! YUM!
Yuuuuummmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!
Yummy! I'm moving to Atlanta in two weeks and there is this place called Souper Jenny that has amazing grilled cheese sandwiches and soups. SO excited! xx
I'm going to try both of these ASAP!!
Yum!
My favorite grilled cheese is fig & mozzarella.
Two slices of artisan bread, spread on some fig jam, a few slices of fresh mozzarella, and a couple pieces of prosciutto. Delish!
Sweet grilled cheese please!

oh blimey i've just eaten fish and chips and mushy peas should I do the sweet toasted sarnie for pud too.
(Traanslation available if required)
My favourite meal is melted cheese on toast - a simple pleasure. Delicious.
LOVING this new food series!!! I've making note of every one.
Amateur question: What heat level should I have my stove on when making a grilled cheese? I always seem to mess this part up and I wouldn't want to ruin those delicious ingredients with burnt toast. Thanks!
I read this post on my train ride home after work and went straight from train to car to grocery. Made the sweet version and am in nutella heaven. I may have to make the savory for my boyfriend next weekend...or maybe sooner! Thanks for the recipes!
It's such a great idea and these foods all look so good. I like to eat cheese. These are really easy to make and very testy to eat.
2 in one!! Can't wait to try this.
Yummmmm! I told my husband about this and we bought sougher dough and bacon last night!
This will not be good for my Nutella addiction. Looks super tasty!
I just love anything grilled cheese! :D But I must try your savory recipe, that might make me have a favorite! :D
i am in ooy-gooey melted cheese heaven! i would like one of each, please!
Have you ever been to the Pop Shop in Collingswood, NJ? They specialize in dozens (hundreds) of Grilled Cheese sandwiches! It's a child (and adults' dream!)

Ooh, I've done the pear and brie one, but I topped it with honey and a little bit of ground pepper... I'll have to give it a try with nutella!!
yum, yum, get in my belly!
thanks for sharing :)

Oh, the first two look so amazing. I have a grilled cheese in my lunch every single day. Maybe I need to kick it up a notch!
For the vegetarians, may I suggest caramelized shallots in lieu of bacon on the white cheddar sandwich. It's a combination of flavors I absolutely adore!
Wow. You had me at sriracha and avocado. The nutella one looks pretty slammin', too.
I just made the savory grilled cheese, and am in LOVE - thank you for such a great article, Joanna! :)
