Fancy Pants Grilled Cheese. You’re Welcome.

This post was sponsored by Dave’s Killer Bread as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

There are occasions when I don’t have to consider my children when I’m making a meal.  This is a recipe to bust out at such a time.  This Fancy Pants Grilled Cheese is not your usual tomato-soup dipper.  This is a hearty, cheesy, flavor bomb to be enjoyed on lazy afternoons or as a late night snack.

When I’m making a Fancy Pants Grilled Cheese sandwich, the first thing to consider is the bread.  It needs to have a hearty texture and a seed-coated crust, which is why I’m digging Dave’s Killer Bread.  It’s the #1 selling organic bread brand in the country for a reason and is packed with protein, fiber, and whole grains with no artificial anything.  And… it’s now available at Walmart!

Besides the bread, we’re also going gourmet with creamy brie cheese, homemade preserves, and spicy brown mustard.  Told you this sandwich is anything but average!

Lay out four pieces of Dave’s Killer Bread.  Spread a thin layer of spicy brown mustard atop each.  Top with sliced brie.  Spread jam over another four pieces of bread and stack them on top.

Bring a griddle to medium heat.  Coat generously with cooking spray.  Cook the sandwiches on each side, until golden and the cheese is perfectly melty.  About 4-5 minutes per side should do the trick.
