Cheese dripping from a Grilled Cheese With A Twist cut in half.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A simple twist makes a delicious impact on a classic grilled cheese sandwich. This sandwich can be customized to suit your taste buds. When testing, we used pepper jelly. Its sweet and spicy flavor with tangy blue cheese is a wonderful combination. The crunch of slivered almonds is a surprise in each bite. We added Colby Jack and Havarti cheese and they melted nicely. Don't like blue cheese? You can replace it with Feta or goat cheese. Serve his grilled cheese sandwich with a warm cup of tomato soup for a comforting meal.
