Yum!!! It's amazing how a simple twist can make such a delicious impact on a classic dish! We served these sammies with both mustard and pepper jelly... and both were super good. The Test Kitchen

How to Make Grilled Cheese With A Twist

Step-by-Step

Spread mustard (optional) or hot jelly (optional) on four slices of chosen bread.
Then, add 2 TBSPs of blue cheese (optional) and 2 TBSPs of sliced nuts (optional), and 2 slices of chosen cheese on the four slices of bread.
Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top of each sandwich. Spread softened butter on the top and bottom of each sandwich stack.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle on low heat. Cook the sandwiches approximately 3-5 minutes on each side. Sandwiches should be brown and the cheese melted. Serve with pickle, soup, or salad as desired.
