We’re Oozing Excitement for National Grilled Cheese Month

April is National Grilled Cheese Month, better known in my house as every freakin’ month!  How can you not love ooey, gooey, cheese smushed between two pieces of bread?  I’m a sucker for extra-sharp white cheddar cheese with basil on rosemary sea salt bread.  I’m also obsessed with melted gruyere and caramelized onions on sourdough.  Swiss cheese and prosciutto….yes, please!  If I can make a grilled sandwich out of it, then I’m a fan!

Tips for a GREAT grilled cheese?  You need to start with great cheese AND great bread.  I always recommend grating the cheese for better melting, and going for a ratio of thick cheese to thin bread. Butter the bread instead of melting it in the pan, and flatten the sandwich during grilling.

If you want to spend hours scrolling through seductive photos of melty grilled cheese and toasty buttered buns, then gosh darn it, go ahead.  I’ve assembled a list of some of the most creative places in the South to indulge your grilled cheese obsession or maybe you’ll get some ideas to try in your own kitchen.

Go ahead, take a look. We promise we won’t tell.
