A Grown-up Fancy Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Tracking PixelDid you know April is National Grilled Cheese sandwich Month?  I’ve seen all sorts of yummy cheesy goodness on my favorite blogs this month, so I wanted to join in with my version of a grown-up fancy grilled cheese sandwich.

Fancy Grilled Cheese

I make all sorts of delicious healthy recipes and my kids complain. But when I make grilled cheese and homemade tomato soup they act like I’m the best mom ever.  It’s one of our go-to meals because it’s quick, easy, and I always have everything in the house.

For this grown-up version of grilled cheese, I decided to add Neufchatel cheese to make it super creamy.  If you’re not familiar with Neufchatel, it’s a creamy cheese similar to cream cheese, but is slightly lower in calories.  It tastes very similar to cream cheese.

I knew I wanted to add basil to my sandwich, so Mozzarella seemed like a good second cheese to use.

In my opinion, fresh herbs make everything better, and I’ve always loved adding veggies to grilled cheese to give it a nice pop of freshness.  Today I opted for fresh basil and tomato.

One last tip before we get to the recipe.  I know most people use butter on the outside of their grilled cheese sandwich, and I often do too.  But, it’s also a great opportunity to get in some of your healthy fats for the day, so I used coconut oil instead.
