Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Grilled cheese and tomato is a classic sandwich combination -- and for good reason. Plump, juicy tomatoes are the perfect complement to gooey melted cheese in this comforting grilled cheese sandwich recipe.I have had the best results making grilled cheese sandwiches with my George Foreman grill. If you have one, use that. If not, you can make this grilled cheese sandwich recipe in a heavy skillet.
