National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day
The grilled cheese sandwich is the perfect comfort food for anyone, regardless of their age! The gooey center paired with the crispy bread makes for one of the most sought after sandwiches in America. Though it only contains three ingredients, bread, butter, and cheese, this divine sandwich is quite versatile. It can be made in a frying pan, oven, grilling appliance, or toaster oven. It can also be eaten by itself or paired with soups such as tomato or chicken noodle.
The grilled cheese sandwich is a variation of the French recipe Croque Monsieur, which is a hot ham and cheese sandwich. During the 1920's, American grilled cheese sandwiches first became popular, but they were often made with only one slice of bread. In the 1960's the top piece of bread was added and it became the standard for grilled cheese sandwiches.
