…a grilled cheese sandwich using my favorite combination of sourdough bread, gruyere cheese, and a lot of butter. I added some fig jam this time for an extra sweet zing. So, tell me friends…what's your favorite grilled cheese combo to make at home? — Joy

mmm…my favorite grilled cheese at home is a white sharp cheddar with sauteed apples. Love it! Oh, and a brie and raspberry grilled cheese too!
I like brie and orange marmalade… but really any grilled cheese with marmalade.
I am a big fan of either smoked or aged or sharp cheddar with pear slices, a lot of butter on whole wheat bread! It’s the kind of sandwich that makes me happy no matter my mood! I haven’t tried Brie and Raspberry, but that sounds mouthwatering.
Gruyere, pear and honey grilled cheese sammy. It’s orgasmically good.
i want one of yours right now, Joy! sounds delish. i always go for tomato and avocado on mine….yum!
I feel like you just can’t beat grilled cheese with sliced tomato… my all-time favorite!
Mine is pretty basic. I got into eating grilled cheese and tomato in college, since that’s all they served.
Brie and sliced pear on sourdough and right before you take a bite, slip in some fresh arugula. So goood!
Dave’s Killer Good Seed bread with Australian Boxing Cheddar and cranberry horseradish sauce. OMG! I wish I wasn’t gluten-free right now. sigh.
Walnut/Raisin bread with cheddar & mango chutney – sounds crazy but is delicious!!
Ps. now I want a grilled cheese…

I’m not too picky about my grilled cheese, but I love me some tomato soup in addition. Yum! Wow that fig is such a good idea to try out!

I love a caprese grilled cheese, with mozzarella, basil, and tomato. But my absolute favorite is brie and hot pepper jelly.
I like spreading some pesto on the bread… it goes well with any kind of cheese that you have!
French roll with brie, fig jam and a slice of prosciutto… Heavenly.
ok now i need to fulfill my pregnancy craving for grilled cheese. i think i’ll go basic: cheddar, tomato and turkey bacon….oh and maybe avocado. v. excited about lunch now.
Sourdough, a bit of mayo, marbled cheddar, a thin coating of butter on the outside… and must have a side of pickle 🙂
it will by not grilled but I love cheese fried in batter withs fries and tatar souce It’s delicious!
I eat something like that in Czech Republik, its near my country I’m from Poland :]
yum! this makes my oatmeal seem bland and unsatisfying.
wow that sounds good, i should try this. I never thought to use like a jelly, oh man that has me wanting to add a pepper jelly in. yumm. my favorite is using sun dried tomato basil cheese. sometimes i do just that but its also good with some red pepper and spinach lettuce leaves with it. i think i made up spinach lettuce leaves, but im sure you know what im talking about.
oooh. brie and preserves, or brie and pears. yummy.
ciabatta bread- pesto ghouda (an amazing new find) and tons of bread, with the help of my “vintage” George Forman 🙂
Fig jam? That sounds pretty great. I like to add pickles and dilly beans to mine.
gruyere + bread and butter pickles.
as soon as i saw this combo in the july bon appetit, i had to make it mine. it’s been my go to pregnancy sandwich!
Normally I like mine with avocado, turkey bacon and a little bit of durkees but fig jam sounds AMAZING. and much more refined 🙂 I’m going to have to try that! Any one have a recipe or brand recommendation?
My favorite is grilled cheese is sour dough bread with gruyere cheese with tomato and honey mustard, simply delicious! 🙂
Sauteed onions in between the cheese!
grilled cheese with olive oil bread, tillamook cheddar, bacon, tomato, and a touch of sriracha!
brown rice bread (for those that are gluten/wheat free – Bread For Life has an amazing one!), muenster cheese on one side and colby jack on the other, and fajita veggies stuffed in the middle! So good!
whole wheat, gruyere, herbe de provence and honey…YUM !
its it terrible if i say “velvetta” after all these luxe combinations??
Gorgonzola and honey!

Hands down my favorite meal! I have two favorites. Whole wheat bread with a little pesto-mayo spread and mozzarella cheese. My other fave is sourdough with apple butter spread and grueyere. Now I’m really hungry!

Amazing whole wheat sourdough from the local farmer’s market, new zealand sharp cheddar from TJ’s, avocado and onions sprouts (they give it that oniony flavor without being overpowering)
Katie Lee’s chipotle 3-cheese (http://www.katieleehome.com/grilled-chipotle-three-cheese-sandwich/)
the chipotle adds such a nice spice that’s cooled off by the red onion + tomato. YUM!
I like mayo and cheese on whole wheat. I also really like adding saurkraut, yummm, it’s like a reuben without the meat.
Whole grain sourdough bread from Trader Joe’s, one slice Muenster, one slice Colby Jack, whole grain mustard slathered one one slice of bread and grilled with butter. Mmmmm!
P.S. – Dip in tomato and roasted red pepper soup for an out-of-this world combo!
This blog makes me hungry… who wants to go out for sandwiches? My treat.
Grilled cheese any way has always been my favorite, since I was 7. Cheddar, Mango Chutney and bacon is in the current rotation.
Love this post! My favourite is a stuffed jalepeno grilled cheese – a layer of cream cheese, then a layer of sliced jalepenos, and finally a layer of cheddar. Spread mayo on the outside of the sandwich to make it extra crispy (the flavour bakes off). Naughty but nice!
Love this one! Another great combo: brie cheese and mango chutney. So good, made for each other!
I like to add caramelized onions to extra sharp white cheddar on sourdough. Mmm. I think I know what I’m having for lunch today!
Sharp cheddar and a smear of apple butter on cinnamon-raisin bread. Happy!
cheddar with jalapenos and onions and tomato soup!
I had a grilled cheese sandwich the other day with roasted butternut squash, gruyere, fontina, sage butter, caramelized onions and crumbled feta. OH MY!! I love the idea of adding the sweetness of jam to it though.
This inspired me to make and do a post on a truffle grilled cheese 🙂 I love @Living Longingly’s suggestion of a stuffed jalapeno grilled cheese. I think I see one of those in my future…
We just had Garlic Rubbed Grilled Cheese with Bacon and Tomatoes the other night and they were AMAZING!!

Mozzerella, Tomato and basilic-pesto is my all-time-favourite! I love you blog, Joy, it´s really so inspiring!
manchego x membrillo
or gouda x apple butter
so goooood!
Grilled vintage chedder with peanut butter (chunky, creamy, organic, any shape or form) on unsweetened brown bread. Delish!
I love a spicy grilled cheese! Using a pepperjack and then adding some pickled jalapenos. Sometimes I add some avocado for a cool creaminess or caramelized onion or tomato jam for a sweetness to the spice.

My fav grilled cheese is with Rosemary Sea Salt bread. A little spicy mustard, butter (of course) and Gruyere cheese. It’s to die for!
my favorite grilled cheese is provolone, sun dried tomato, and pesto on sourdough. my hubby likes to sprinkle a little garlic salt on the bread, after buttering it up! i tried grated parmesan the other night. yummy!
The good old-fashioned American, tomato, and bacon on white 🙂
After much trial and error, we always make our grilled cheeses with potato bread, muenster cheese, a slice of turkey and homemade honey mustard. Soooo, yummy-sweet-salty-crunchy-gooey. There’s nothing else like it!
