    A more “grown-up” version of the classic grilled cheese!


    I got the idea from Martha Stewart to create “grown-up” grilled cheese sandwiches. Martha is right. Kids should not be the only ones enjoying this timeless sandwich.

    My first attempt at adultifying the good old Grilled Cheese turned out fabulous, if I do say so. I could hardly stand to take the photos. I was dying to sink my teeth into its sandwich-y flesh! And once I did, it did not take long for me to shove the entire thing down my throat. Delicious, I’m telling you, delicious!

    Butter one side of a slice of swirl pumpernickel rye bread. Place it butter-side down on a skillet over medium-low heat.

    Layer with:

    1 slice provolone cheese

    Tomato slices

    Avocado slices

    Fresh basil

    1 slice provolone cheese

    Another slice of swirl pumpernickel rye bread, butter-side up


    When the cheese closest to the pan melts, carefully flip the sandwich over. When the other cheese slice melts, remove from heat. Cut sandwich in half and hopefully you don’t feel compelled to take photos of everything you cook like I do because you will have the urge to eat this asap!

    Soooooo delcious!

      I used Dave's Killer Bread, and no basil, but this version was very satisfying…

      Try putting a little honey on a grilled cheese. My favorite adult grilled cheese is: havarti, mozzarella, tomato, avocado, and honey on sourdough.
