The grilled cheese sandwich is a delicious option for dinner if you are low on funds or time (or simply hankering for some dairy). But simple doesn’t have to equal boring – revamp your standard cheese sandwich with these creative takes on the original.
Grilled cheese, prosciutto and anchovy panini
Fill these yummy sandwiches with whatever feels right – prosciutto, grilled eggplant and mozzarella, or smoked salmon, rocket and melting Gruyère. If you don’t feel like firing up the grill, they cook well in a dry frypan.
Welsh rarebit
The cheese toastie comes in many forms, from the French pan-fried cheese and ham sandwich known as the croque monsieur to the venerable English cheese and onion toasted sandwich, which is perfect served alongside a packet of cheese ’n’ onion chips and a pint of lager.
