For as long as I can remember, Kevin Lynch and Closet Cooking have been creating awesome grilled cheese sandwiches with spectacular photography. The blog is not dedicated to grilled cheese sandwiches, just great recipes/food, but Kevin does cook grilled cheeses on what seems like a regular basis. The main allure to Closet Cooking’s sandwiches are that they are a far cry from your typical white bread and American cheese sandwich. The most recent sandwich, Grilled Goat Cheese and Roasted Red Pepper Pesto, is not the type of grilled cheese sandwich your mother made when you were growing up. These are gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches at their core and they are fantastic.

Choosing my favorite sandwich was very difficult as there were so many good ones…

Spinach Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Out of all the possible sandwiches, I chose the most simple one. For some reason, the photo just oozes yummy. I want to attempt to grab this grilled cheese sandwich through my screen, even though I know I would only break my computer (and possibly the Internet). I am a huge fan of pesto and based on this photo, I can only imagine I will love spinach pesto. Plus, who doesn’t love a good gruyere?

The ingredients include:

• 3 tablespoons spinach (aka spanakopita) pesto
• 1/4 cup graviera or gruyere (grated)
• 2 slices bread
• 1 tablespoon butter

If you are looking for a great grilled cheese recipe, make sure to head to Closet Cooking. Or, if you are looking for a great recipe for anything that isn’t a grilled cheese, make sure to head to Closet Cooking. Kevin Lynch has something great going with his blog and I wish him all the best.

I created this blog to disprove the thought that a grilled cheese must include white bread and american cheese. I have continually stuck to that motto as I create new grilled cheese sandwiches each week. Along the road, I have encountered other people, other bloggers, who believe in the same thing and now feel it necessary to feature them right here, with a new feature called: PerfectlyGrilled.
