The Ultimate Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I have a What I Ate Wednesday Post waiting, but I couldn’t wait to tell you about this incredible sandwich! It really is that good.

I told you on Monday about the Grilled Cheese Party Buffet we did for my little guy’s 2nd birthday party. It was a huge hit and definitely my favorite party food ever. It was so quick and easy to put together, the guests grilled their own sandwiches, and with lots of different options everyone was able to create a sandwich they loved.

My creation was this sandwich with 9 grain bread, pesto, fresh mozzarella, artichoke hearts, spinach, tomato and avocado. It was so good, I may or may not have made it for lunch everyday for a whole week.

YUM!!
