Build The Bar
As host, you will need to provide:
- An assortment of breads, cheeses, vegetables, proteins and spreads (see below for ideas)
- Cutting boards and knives for assembly
- Griddles, large skillets and/or a Panini press for cooking the sandwiches. (You can always ask guests to bring extras from their homes.) We love our Lodge Cast Iron Square Panini Press.
- Plates and napkins
- Optional: A pot of tomato soup—the classic pairing for grilled cheese sandwiches. Our Tomato-Cheddar Soup recipe serves 6!
If guests offer to bring something, ask them to supply drinks and dessert! We paired our creations with a lovely Rosé and a variety of delicious beers.
Build Your Own Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Here are our picks for the ultimate grilled cheese party spread:
THE BUTTER
Cabot, of course!
THE BREAD
Wheat sandwich bread, White French loaf, Mini rolls
(Mini rolls are adorable for making bite sized grilled cheeses—and they fit our Cabot Cracker Cuts perfectly!)
THE CHEESE
Cabot Colby Jack Cheese Cracker Cuts, Cabot Vermont Sharp Cracker Cuts, Cabot Vermont Extra Sharp Cracker Cuts
(We think anything from our Cracker Cuts line is ideal—and comes pre-sliced for your guests!)
THE TOPPINGS
VEGGIES: Spinach, Pea shoots, Fresh tomatoes, Sun dried tomatoes – whatever is your favorite!
PROTEIN: Ham, Pepperoni, Salami – or your other go-tos
SPREADS: Fig Spread, Hot pepper jelly, Pesto – be creative!
