Home of the Grilled Cheese Sandwich
The Grilled Cheese Kitchen and laundry room were having issues over the weekend, with multiple sinks backing up. Since we weren’t sure when the problem would be fixed, the original plan was to not do a grilled cheese sandwich. Then, sometime Monday, Mr. Plumber came …
As I do when I don’t have an idea for a grilled cheese, I walk around Whole Foods looking for inspiration for the week’s grilled cheese. However, this time, it was not Whole Foods that inspired me, but me remembering an old idea I never …
For the past two years, I have created a special Valentine’s Day grilled cheese involving strawberries. This year, I wanted to do something different, I wanted to do something I had yet to tackle. For every single grilled cheese sandwich I have cooked, they have been the main course. They have been the star. Not this time. Not this Valentine’s Day. For the first time in my 3+ years of creating and preparing grilled cheese sandwiches, I would make a dessert grilled cheese sandwich, featuring gourmet chocolate. The pressure was on to create something spectacular. I was up to the challenge…even if I still included strawberries. (It was Valentine’s Day after all!)

In honor of the upcoming Super Bowl, I asked GrilledShane Facebook fans, “Does anyone have any ideas as to what a super bowl grilled cheese would look like?” Thankfully, everyone came through and made great suggestions. Unfortunately, I had to discount a few right away …
A couple weeks ago I went with the sous chef and nephew to see the play, Knuffle Bunny. If you have never heard of such a book or play, you aren’t the only one. I had no idea what it is prior to going and …
Recently, I ate a fresh mozzarella, basil and tomato panini that I thought was amazing.

I then thought, “Hey, I have done a salmon grilled cheese sandwich, why not make a tilapia grilled cheese?” My mind was off and running thinking about what cheese, bread and accompanying ingredients would fit perfectly with the fresh tilapia.

Even since I found a Grilled Beer and Cheese Sandwich recipe on Wisconsin Cheese Talk (recipe courtesy Gabi of Honest Fare), I had wanted to try it out for myself. However, I was worried about actually making the bread and in turn the grilled cheese. Up …
I must first say Happy New Year to everyone. Hopefully you were able to celebrate New Year’s Eve with friends and family in a great environment. Now onto the newest grilled cheese creation featuring cream cheese. This sandwich was inspired by Grilled Cheese Social‘s “Team …
I had hoped to create this mango/watercress/hummus grilled cheese for last Sunday, when my father told me he was not a fan of hummus. I was short on time and forced to come up with a new grilled cheese. The local Whole Foods just started having Sunday brunch, and since I was headed into work at 11, the folks and I decided to go. While there, I was trying to devise a plan for that evening’s grilled cheese but my mind was on getting to work on time. With some more thinking (and time), this is what I came up with.

After pushing the envelope of what a grilled cheese can be, I decided to tone it down a bit and make a somewhat standard grilled cheese, featuring caramelized onions. The caramelizing process is an easy one, as long as you make sure not to burn …
