My first job after college was at a newspaper that had a full service cafeteria downstairs.
My friends and I would go there during our break and I would order a grilled cheese on rye bread with tomato and bacon. I thought I was the definition of high class elegance, ordering such a grown-up grilled cheese at my grown-up job.
I laugh about it now because I really did think I was highbrow with that fancy bread and slice of tomato addition, but, all jokes aside, that is still my absolute favorite grilled cheese combination.

Bacon & Jalapeño Pimento Grilled Cheese Sandwich
The first time I had pimento cheese as a condiment was from a food truck serving hamburgers. It was such a unique way to make a cheeseburger without the traditional sliced cheese.
So of course, I had to try grilled cheese with it. It’s. So. Good. It adds a different texture and dynamic to the sandwich. And it’s such a good contrast to the crispy bacon in this bacon and jalapeño pimento grilled cheese sandwich.
Mini Brie Grilled Cheese
When we were in Nashville, we stopped in a upscale diner for a snack. We ordered mini brie grilled cheese sandwiches that were topped with chimichurri. It was a really great combination, so, of course, I had to re-create it as soon as we got home.
The sandwiches we had were delicious and upscale. Plus they were expensive. We paid $14 for four mini sandwiches in Nashville. I made 20 of them at home for about half that cost.
So, stick with me guys. I’ll teach you how to make gourmet food on a budget.
