A little different kind of grilled cheese sandwich again!

The last time I had grilled cheese was way back in April. I'm just not a huge fan, but every once in a while I like it. The family likes your basic grilled cheese with gooey, melted American cheese. Sometimes with bacon, sometimes with tomato, sometimes both. Not one of them will even try my favorite grilled cheese, so today I was on my own for lunch!  And not like last time when I couldn't find a good pumpernickel, this time I lucked out. A fresh, pumpernickel, chewy inside, crunchy crusty outside!





Take the two slices of pumpernickel and add a slice or two of Jarlsberg on each side. Put it on the top rack of the oven, and put some foil on the bottom rack in case it melts off the bread. Bake it for a few minutes at 350ยบ F until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted. Take it out of the oven carefully, and then top it with alfalfa sprouts and slices of fresh white button mushrooms, close the sandwich, squish it together and there you have it! Makes one sandwich.

Printable recipe is here.

    OMG, that sounds like heaven on a plate! Pumpernickel is my favorite bread, love any and all cheese...maybe I will make that tomorrow for lunch...gotta find the sprouts. Wonder if any kind of cheese would work?

    If you have grilled cheese you MUST have tomato soup with it!! That's what my sons say anyway.

    I like the way you dress yours up..looks good!

    That sure is a new version, Carol. Personally, I could eat a grilled cheese every day... cheese and tomato only for me.

    Carol, I'm not a grilled cheese fan either. I don't even like cheeseburgers. The closest thing to grilled cheese that I like is a reuben, and I LOVE them. I love rye and pumpernickel and sprouts. I need to give your version a try; it does sound delicious.

    Everything I love about this sandwich, except, I have to acquire the taste of alfalfa.

    Simple and easy for lunch or dinner.
