This post is part of my yearlong partnership with\u00a0Arla Cheese<\/a>!<\/i><\/p>\n

File this under: things we realized as kids and never got full credit for: Grilled cheese is one of life\u2019s sacred recipes.

\nI never outgrew it, what about\u00a0you? It’s the reliable comfort of\u00a0soft\u00a0bread, cheese, and a hot pan. I love it just like that, but I also have a habit of wanting to stuff all my favorite things into one convenient eating vessel (a sandwich, taco, car, or purse), so I can’t help but want to add ingredients to a good ol’ grilled cheese.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Grilled Cheese with Havarti, Sun Dried Tomatoes and Prosciutto<\/h2>\n

I recently\u00a0started using sun-dried tomatoes, because they\u2019re sweeter and richer than fresh tomatoes, which just may be the most popular grilled cheese addition of all time. When I thought of adding bacon to my grilled cheese, I wondered if it might be a little too<\/em> overpowering,\u00a0and instead, decided on paper-thin slices of prosciutto, to keep with an Italian theme. I added a handful of briney artichoke hearts, and that\u00a0almost felt like the rightest I\u2019d been in years. And finally, havarti.<\/p>\n

This <\/span>Arla Havarti sliced cheese<\/a><\/span>\u00a0is the heartbeat of the sandwich. It has this buttery, just-gently creamy taste I can\u2019t get enough of, and a semi-soft texture that melts perfectly on grilled cheese. <\/span>Is there anything more satisfying than seeing that cheese pull? <\/span><\/i>I\u2019ve said it before and I\u2019ll say it again–cheese is life and the rest is just details. Wait no. I mean–a good cheese is essential. I\u2019ve <\/span>told you about how much I love Arla<\/a><\/span>\u00a0before, and this time, I\u2019m focused on their <\/span>sliced cheeses<\/a><\/span>, which come in Havarti, Fontina, Gouda, Muenster. They\u2019re free from artificial flavors and preservatives, and made from milk that is free of added hormones*. These cheeses, just like the cream cheese, are <\/span>simply better<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

*FDA has determined that there is no significant difference between milk derived from rBST-treated and non-rBST treated cows.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Calorie-wise, between the bread, cheese, and whatever you add in, a grilled cheese can really start to add up quickly. I\u2019ve learned through past attempts at lightening it, that you really do need two slices of cheese at the minimum, or else you just won\u2019t taste the cheese, and even more than that, you won\u2019t experience any of the melting quality that makes a grilled cheese what it is. Where I\u2019m able to trim calories is with the butter\/oil. Here, I decided to forgo buttering the bread and instead, simply use my oil mister (or cooking spray) to spray the pan and top of the sandwich, and then cook it over medium until crispy, melted, and warm throughout. And with all of the flavorful ingredients inside–the sweetness, the saltiness, and the buttery <\/span>Havarti<\/a><\/span>, there\u2019s absolutely nothing to miss! <\/span><\/p>\n

Happy National Grilled Cheese Day! What’s you favorite grilled cheese addition?<\/p>\n
