The Ultimate Grilled Cheese ~ French Bread Stuffed with THREE Different Types of Cheese and Grilled to Perfection!
My love affair with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches began a long, long time ago. It was way back in college in the good old dorms rooms. Man it brings back some awesome memories. How did I not realize how much fun college was and how carefree my life was? It was the simplest times and I just wanted to be done. Done and out making money!
To bad the bills are also larger now! Right?
I went to school for Hotel/Restaurant Management so this included a lot of cooking classes, but sometimes you just can’t beat the simplest things in life like a comforting Grilled Cheese.
In the “Dorm” all we had was a shared kitchen. It wasn’t ideal and let’s face it there were some odd people in that dorm that I didn’t really want to intermingle with. My amazing roommate brought a Grilled Cheese maker. Now if you are looking for a gift for a college student please share the grilled cheese love with them and give them one! So simple.
Whenever we had a midnight craving we’d whip up a grilled cheese loaded with cheese because really that ooey, gooey makes the grilled cheese.
Soon the boys learned. The secret was out. Our epic grilled cheeses were the talk of the dorm! We had boys flocking to our room to try one of them. Especially after we had been out to late on a weekend doing things that I shouldn’t speak of.
P.S. Dad could never figure out why I had a “migraine” every Sunday morning when he called me. Shhhhhh. Secrets safe with you right? And he doesn’t know what the internet is!
I set out on a mission to top my beloved simple grilled cheese and did I succeed or what! This Ultimate Grilled Cheese is loaded with three different types of cheese, seasonings and piled onto thick, hearty French Bread!
Now as I let this secret out I hope the boys don’t come flocking to my house for one. My hubs might not be to receptive to that!

Oh, this looks so good! Thank you. 🙂 Have you ever tried making a grilled cheese using pimento cheese? Another good one. Maybe I’m just addicted to all things cheese. 😉
Pimento cheese?! I’ve gotta try this now!
I saw this recipe last summer and made up batch. Now no one will eat a plain grilled cheese ever again. We love ours on sourdough. Recently, I had the thought to add artichoke hearts to the mix. Oh my Heavens…. you have to try it. It just brings the sandwich up one more notch (which I didn’t think was possible). I put a slathering of the cheese mixture on the bread and then a layer of the hearts, which I halved and squeezed all the water out of. To. Die. For! I think next time chop the artichoke hearts a little smaller and just mix them into the cheese mixture. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe.
Ahhh I’m so excited at the thought of artichokes I had to reply right away! We also tried bacon bits in it and it was amazing!!!!
Oooooo. Bacon! I’m warming up my griddle right now! 🙂
I’m sure your made cheese grilling skills won you some major points with the boys! Ha! This looks awesome Julie!
Food wins major points with boys in any aspect I’ve learned!
I am sooooo inspired! This looks so AWESOME! I don’t like grilled cheeses, but this I know is delicious! I can’t wait to give this a shot! Mmmm Will be back once I have made it! 😀
It’s soooo good! We had to make them again already!
my mouth is watering! Thank you for the amazing recipes! (probably a good thing my son has a dairy allergy or we’d be eating one of these every night!
Thanks Karen!
We have grilled cheese sammies on the regular rotation here! You just can’t get tired of all that gooey cheese and the buttery, toasted bread. This looks AWESOME, Julie! I can’t wait to whip it up for my family 🙂
Oh yeah, that grilled cheese of dreams!
Disappointed. It seemed weird to mix mayo on a grilled cheese but I decided to try it anyway. It was weird after all.
I’m sorry this one didn’t work out for you, it is definitely a different take on a traditional grilled cheese!
Looks beautiful and perfect in every way!
I too am a lover of grilled cheese. I could eat it every single day and never get tired of it! And today, I’m having this one!
Enjoy Tanya!
