Fancy Grilled Cheese

Earlier this week, I shared my white bean chili recipe, so it's only fair that I share a recipe for the most incredible grilled cheese: my fancy grilled cheese. This is another recipe from my first book, Picture Perfect Parties, and it's one I bring back year after year because it's just that good. Enjoy!
