Haaayyyy there, friends!
It's Grilled Cheese Week and I am excited.
Beyond. Excited.
April is Grilled Cheese month, and how could I not celebrate that?! Especially when the wonderful people that make my favorite cheese {Cabot} send me a box of goodies just for celebrating Grilled Cheese Month...
Starting off the week is one of my all-time favorite grilled cheeses...
Roasted Veggie Grilled Cheese
I am obsessed with roasting vegetables so it only makes sense that this is one of my favorite grilled cheeses.
All you do is grab a few slices of whole grain bread {I really like Ezekiel Sprouted Bread}, rub with a little olive oil {I use this rosemary olive oil for extra flavor}, and then fill with roasted veggies and shredded cheese. The roasted veggies have tons of flavor, so you don't need a ton of cheese to make it delicious.
I used the Vermont Sharp Cheddar, and it could not have been more perfect. You can find it at any grocery store, and I seriously am obsessed with Cabot Cheese.
I've been buying Cabot since I first found their cheese like 5 years ago. Their reduced-fat cheese is the only one I've found that doesn't taste like plastic.
Now, I buy all their cheese because I just know it's going to be good. {Disclosure: I receive cheese from Cabot occasionally but they aren't paying me or sending me samples because I talk about how awesome their cheese is. All crazy-obsessed opinions are completely my own.}
I grate the cheese for grilled cheeses because I think it helps make it melt better and evenly distributes the cheese.
April 12th {this Saturday} is Grilled Cheese Day, so I decided to give you five delicious grilled cheese options that you can make to celebrate.
Honestly, I'll probably celebrate most of the month. Grilled cheeses are one of my go-to lunches, and the ones I'll be posting this week are all healthy and full of lean protein and veggies.
Be sure you check back in every day this week to get more inspiration to celebrate the glory that is Grilled Cheese Month ๐

This looks amazing. Can you tell me what vegetables you used and how you roasted them?
Meme says
Thanks Elizabeth! For this exact grilled cheese, I used green bell peppers, onions, red bell peppers, and asparagus. Usually, I just roast whatever veggies I have in my house -- typically onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms {that's my personal favorite combo}.
Roasting veggies is quite easy. Just chop the veggies all about the same size and toss with a tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with some salt and put on a baking sheet. Roast in a 425*F oven for about 25-40 minutes, stirring once. It really depends on what veggies you use for how long it'll take. Onions take longer than mushrooms or tomatoes.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you need anything else ๐
