Grilled Cheese Nutella Sandwich!

"Lunch Break" by Arthur Saron Sarnoff

This month we celebrate the Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Grilled Cheese is just about my favorite sandwich, and I'm thrilled that there are now so many places that serve a variation. And, at home, well you know I've added chocolate, chocolate and strawberries, and other wonderful foods that make this crispy/gooey treat so awesome. How can you go wrong with bread, cheese, and butter?

So today with a nod to The Kitchn, here's a great recipe for a Grilled Cheese Nutella Sandwich. The Kitchn's Grilled Cheese is made in the oven, but I like the extra flavor that comes with grilling. And, it's Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month, after all. This recipe uses cream cheese, but to make it more savory, you can always use brie. I'm a big fan of melted brie. Want an even savorier (is that a word?) flavor? Use ripe soft goat cheese. Want to make it sweeter? Butter the outside of the bread and when grilling sprinkle with brown sugar (don't let it burn--just carmelize).
