Is there any way to liven up a grilled cheese sandwich?!
Answers: but ham or bacon on it and any kind of peppers you like also tomatoes or that tomatoe basil sauce is good too to put on it
Bacon, Tomatoes....
I really like grilled tuna and cheese, particularly with sharp cheese.
add ham
i love add fried hard egg and fried weenie...cook them first then make your grilled cheese...also bacon lettuce and tomato too.
slice of fried ham and lettuce tomato
I like grilled cheese w/ ham and pickles...or
green olives
orrr
add a little chicken and dip it in bbq sauce! mmm!
OR eat it w/ tomatoe soup OR
I sprinkle some pepper and garlic salt on the bread (on top of the butter)
worcester sauce (especially Lea & Perrins)
tomatos & onion & pumpernickel bread
To use the KISS method....I would add very thin slivers of sweet peppers...red, orange, yellow or green. The flavor would be awesome. Just lay the slivers on the cheese, slap on the other piece of bread, and cook it up.
Sure you can add other things, such as a slice of Turkey, or Ham, or a sprinkling of pre cooked crumbled bacon with very thin sliced onions, or chopped green onions...sprinkled on the cheese before cooking. Enjoy.......
I like sweet relish and horseradish on mine.
After you butter your bread, sprinkle celery salt on it before grilling. My mom used to put Rosemary leaves on hers.
You could also add ham. I like to add dill pickles!
Absolutely...add some fresh cut onions, tomotoes and cilantro for a salsa flavor and crunch...drain the items a bit before use...or add some hot sauce...or try using a different variety of cheese...
get a good partridge breast and wafer slice it. then roll it in rosemary, sage, dill and garlic and put in the sanswich. long, but tell me if you can find a nicer grilled sandwich.
Spread some stadium mustard on the bread before adding the cheese, then melt them together. You could also try thin slices of peppers, or onions with the cheese, then grill it.
After the grilled cheese is cooked, eat it with some sweet pickles. I make semi-homemade sweet pickles (turning dill pickles into sweet pickles) that are perfect for it.
Croque Madame Recipe
8 slices sourdough bread
very thinly sliced 12 ounces smoked ham
very thinly sliced 8 ounces Gruyere
2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 extra-large eggs
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Butter 1 side of each bread slice.
Set half of the slices of bread buttered side down in the griddle or cast iron skillet, and cover each with a slice of cheese.
Place 3 or 4 slices of the ham over the cheese, and place the top slice of bread over the ham, buttered side up.
Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches until bottom is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.
Remove sandwiches and place on a plate.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the top of each sandwich, and then place a slice of cheese on top.
Put the sandwiches back onto the griddle or skillet then place in oven, cooking until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over high heat. Cook each egg sunny side up. Turn egg over and cook 3 minutes longer for a soft-cooked egg, or 5 minutes longer for a hard-cooked egg.
Repeat with remaining butter and eggs.
Place 1 fried egg atop each sandwich. Season egg, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve sandwich immediately.

Splash of worcestershire sauce?
Sure!
Why not try adding some ketchup? Or some worchester sauce?
You could add onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, courgettes - whatever you fancy!
tabasco
Instead of buttering the outside, use a thin layer of mayo or Miracle Whip...either one adds amazing flavor. Also, I spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese on the inside along with the sliced cheese. My kids adore them, even my grown up kids!
Instead of plain old butter on the outside of the bread, sprinkle a bit of garlic powder and oregano. It will be more like garlic butter then.
Also this might sound gross but I like putting beans and onions in mine, so it's like a melty bean-cheese sandwhich. I prefer molasses beans for this instead of the tomato sauce ones.
Any grilled sandwich should start with good bread.....sour dough...topped with a slice of swiss,then cheddar,then bacon bits....then grilled with real butter....
use rye bread. bacon old white cheddar
Before cooking, you could add:
Salsa .... roasted red peppers .... ham or chicken slices .... scrambled or fried egg ...
After cooking, you could add:
Bacon, tomato, avocado
alfalfa sprouts
Try using rye bread and put fried bacon and american cheese on it. This is my favorite way to eat grilled cheese.
Add a couple slices of bacon--its great!! You can even add a couple thin slices of tomato, but its best to use Roma tomatoes as they are less juicy. You can also use a more interesting cheese, like pepper-jack..
I often spread a thin layer of horseradish or hot dog relish or finely chopped onion on our grilled cheese just for something different.
How about a grilled pesto & provolone sandwich? Sounds yummy!! Maybe add a little ham as well. I'm gonna try that myself, I'm glad you asked the question :)
It is amazing how different and better a grilled cheese sandwich can taste when you try out different breads, different kinds of cheeses and add your favorite meat slices and veggies to it. I prefer wheat bread with swiss cheese, Miracle Whip and tomatoes.
I like grilled cheese with hot tomato vegetable soup. Another tasty option, add a slice of ham.(taste great baked instead of grilled!)
