Happy Nattional Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day!

A grilled cheese sandwich. So simple, yet so delicious. The ancient Romans introduced us to this household staple. They were the first civilization to make a cooked bread and cheese sandwich. The classic American grilled cheese sandwich came about in the 1920s when inexpensive cheese and affordable sliced bread became available to the masses. The grilled cheese sandwich has come a long way since its inception, with the endless options of breads and cheese and even more gourmet toppings like ham, bacon or vegetables. The classic kids sandwich has become a sophisticated adult food. It’s up to you to make the perfect sandwich; and the opportunities are endless.
