One of my food focuses this month is grilled cheese sandwiches
I think I could live on grilled cheese sandwiches,
they are such perfect comfort food
Grilled cheese sandwiches can be as simple as bread, butter and cheese
Or you can fill them with endless mouthwatering combinations!
Here’s a fun twist on grilled cheese,
grilled cheese “chips!”
Just cheese, bread and butter
Cut crusts off bread and assemble sandwiches
with one slice of cheese in between 2 slices of bread
Smash bread down with a rolling pin after building sandwiches
Butter both sides and cut into triangles
Bake sandwiches for 10 minutes, turn them over
Return to oven and bake 5-10 more minutes
Time will vary because of different ovens, bread type used
and personal preference
You might want to experiment with a few
to figure out the best time for yours
Remember, these are called chips, so they’re a little crunchy
Decrease baking time if you want a softer result
The cheese will ooze out a little, forming little bites of frico along the edges
Serve as a snack, dip into soup, enjoy with a salad,
or use as a dipper in a variety of dips, hot or cold
Here are a few more grilled cheese combos you might want to try
It’s perfect for Fall full of sweet apples and cranberries
with white Cheddar and bacon
You can make it with tortillas
or bread like a traditional grilled cheese
One of my favorite combos is fig jam, pears, bacon, & bleu cheese
Add some Gouda to make it extra cheesy or
skip the bleu if you’re not a fan,
and just use a flavorful Gouda or White Cheddar
My current go to favorite grilled cheese sandwich
is made in my Air Fryer
with ham, Swiss cheese, and a tangy spread
I vary the spread between Maple Bacon Aioli,
tangy Sweet Hot mustard, and Bourbon Bacon jam
Stonewall Kitchen condiments are available in higher end grocery stores

Spread one piece of bread with condiment of choice
then layer ham, and then cheese on top
Top with another slice of bread,
and butter both sides of the sandwich
Cook sandwich in the air fryer or in a skillet
My air fryer has racks instead of a basket
so you don’t need to flip the sandwich
I set the fryer at 350 degrees for 6 minutes
Increase time if you want more browning or make adjustments for your air fryer
The sandwich pictured is lightly toasted and cheese is melty
I could have cooked it several minutes longer but I was hungry 😂
