Nothing says cozy comfort like a toasty grilled cheese sandwich during the cold winter months. Curling up with a buttery and ooey-gooey cheesy sandwich accompanied by hot soup? Nothing better! With just a few additions, a grilled cheese sandwich can have a whole new personality, from gourmet to crisp, tangy, sharp or even spicy.

1. Sweet ’n’ savoury grilled cheese with mozzarella and chutney

Take your grilled cheese up a notch by combining Compliments Mozzarella with Compliments Old Cheddar and topping it off with a sweet and tangy chutney or jam. This combo provides a prime cheese-pull opportunity that’s complemented by the sweet punch of chutney.

2. Pizza-inspired grilled cheese

If the family is craving pizza for lunch, offer up this pizza grilled cheese. Simply add sliced pepperoni to a mozzarella grilled cheese and grill as usual.

4. Grilled cheese with chunky salsa

5. Cheesy corn grilled cheese

For a gourmet grilled cheese inspired by the flavours of a Korean corn dog, build your sandwich with mozzarella, Compliments Medium White Cheddar, drained canned corn, and parsley. Tip: Add some flavourful heat with Compliments Sliced Jalapeño Peppers.
