This Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe is a simple yet indulgent classic. Made with rich, creamy Merkts Sharp Cheddar Cheese spread between two slices of thick-cut bread, this sandwich is grilled to golden perfection. The bread becomes crispy and buttery, while the melted Merkts inside creates a warm, gooey center with bold, savory flavor. It’s comfort food at its finest, perfect for a quick lunch or satisfying snack.

How to Make It
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread, using 1/2 tablespoon for each.
- Place a skillet over low to medium/low heat, then add 2 slices of bread with the buttered side down.
- Stack 1 slice of cheddar and 2 tablespoons of Merkts on one piece of bread. Cover it with the other slice of bread and flip the sandwich over.
- Continue sauteeing, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Cut the sandwich in half on the diagonal to serve.
- Serve with a warm bowl of tomato soup for the ultimate comforting combination. The creamy Merkts cheese and crispy bread complement the rich, tangy soup perfectly.
- For an Almond Swiss twist, swap out the Merkts Cheddar for Merkts Almond Swiss and use slices of sourdough bread for a nutty, slightly tangy variation of the classic grilled cheese.
- Elevate your Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich with a few slices of crispy bacon or prosciutto for an extra savory, salty kick.
- For a lighter meal, pair your grilled cheese with a simple green salad dressed in a light lemon vinaigrette to balance out the richness of the sandwich.
- Want a spicier option? Spread a thin layer of spicy mustard or add a few slices of pickled jalapeños to give your grilled cheese a little heat.
- Serve with a side of crispy sweet potato fries or regular fries for a hearty meal that’s sure to satisfy.
