I love all sorts of grilled cheese sandwiches, both vegetarian and those with meat. I really like this one since it's simple, but uses really delicious ingredients. I think I'd like to try this with some different breads. A nice sourdough would work rather well, and I'd love to try this with some thick sliced light rye bread. I'm definitely going to be making up some of these.
