Grilled Muenster Cheese with Turkey and Tomato

Seems like everything gets it’s “own month” dedication these days. And apparently the grilled cheese sandwich takes center stage for April. That’s right, April is National Grilled Cheese Month. Who knew? Not I, obviously. Or I wouldn’t have posted my Grapes on Focaccia and Goat Cheese with Chocolate in March.

But I never run out of grilled cheese recipes to showcase. This one, brought to you from Cooking Light, is Paul’s favorite. I’ve made it several times and he always says, “This is the absolute best grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had.” And actually, he’s right.

Psst…the secret is actually in the mustard mixture.

April. Grilled Cheese month. Of course. Well, at least this is a celebration I’m more than happy to participate in. Now how do I score tickets to the show in LA? Hmmm.

This is one of those sandwiches where you have two of them before you realize you were stuffed after eating the first; where you eye the plates of others, wondering if they’re going to finish theirs. Man, do I love this sandwich.

I’m working hard to get Amy to make May Steak and Turkey Burger month. And I’m hoping June will be Bacon and Cheese month in our house.

I know what I’m having for lunch today.

If one were to eat a soup with this sandwich, what soup would one choose? Chicken noodle? NE clam chowder? Tomato?

I served it with a roasted red pepper tomato bisque. YUMMY.

I want this for lunch!

Yum! If only we had sour dough, muenster, and turkey in the house. I foresee a trip to the market in about an hour.

That looks soooo good to me right now. I love melted cheese with turkey or ham or both. Come on, lunch time!!

I have no vested interest in it, I just thought of it with your post.

If only I had all the ingredients in my kitchen, this would have been today’s lunch! I love everything that is in that sandwich.

Healthy Tip #1: Using a Panini press to dry grill the sandwich instead of butter in a fry pan not only saves you from a few of those pesky fat calories, but lets the wonderful flavors of the sandwich ingredients speak for themselves.
