American cheese slices between white bread may be the standard for a grilled cheese sandwich, but if your grilled cheese repertoire begins and ends there, your sandwich is clearly not living up to its full potential. Just the mention of a grilled cheese sandwich makes my kids’ ears perk up—so whenever I make them, it’s an easy opportunity to introduce new flavors to my kids, and they almost always love it (I mean, isn’t virtually everything better with cheese?).
