Recipe: Mushroom Grilled Cheese Sandwich

In my opinion, a cold day means warm grilled cheese sandwiches.  There is nothing better during the colder months than an ooey-gooey perfectly golden brown grilled cheese.  There are thousands of ways to create this classic and iconic dish.  

My mom made the best grilled cheese sandwiches; however, I think this recipe may have her beat.  We have come a long way from the typical grilled cheese sandwich made with white bread and American cheese.  Well, I decided to remix this fall favorite.  I love mushrooms!  And if you don’t, then you can leave this ingredient out.  

In this recipe, I’ll also be using Pepper Jack cheese, which gives this sandwich a slight hint of spice.  I used a lot of cheese because I really like my grilled cheese sandwiches cheesy.  If you want to take the sandwich to another level, simply pair it with a great soup or salad.
