Cranberry Grilled Cheese


Who doesn't love a Grilled Cheese sandwich?  The ultimate sandwich from my childhood.   There are so many variations to this classic sandwich.  In this recipe, cheese is mixed with fresh cranberries and grilled.  What could be easier.

You can create an very tasty lunch in a matter of minutes.   The fresh cranberries added an extra zing to the sandwich and complimented the flavor of the cheddar cheese.  A perfect sandwich for enjoying during the fall season.

Combine cheddar with cranberries. Spread one side of 4 slices sandwich bread with butter; spread mustard over 2 slices and top with cheese mixture.  Close sandwiches.  Heat a dry medium skillet over medium and cook sandwiches, pressing down occasionally, until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes per side.

  1. I love spiced cranberry sauce or chutney on a sharp cheddar sandwich! This looks good.

  2. Hi Geraldine!
    Never in a million years would I think to make a Cranberry Grilled Cheese. Looks like both you and Mae are on the same wave length. I better try it someday. It sure looks tempting!

    Thanks for sharing, Geraldine...
