Mouthwatering spins on a classic grilled cheese

For something as simple as a grilled cheese sandwich, every home cook has their own version and countless combinations of bread and cheese. Some prefer American for the ultimate cheese-pull and some swear by the highest-quality Gruyere or Monterey Jack. And though grilled cheese is a pretty perfect food all on its own, adding pickled jalapenos, roasted tomatoes, pesto or mounds of caramelized onions really takes it over the top.

Once you’ve nailed the quintessential elements, be a little adventurous and try any of these mouthwatering spins on a classic grilled cheese.
