Grilled cheese sandwiches are among one of the top comfort foods. According to food historians, cooked bread and cheese is an ancient food, enjoyed across the world in many cultures. The modern version of the grilled cheese sandwich originated in the 1920s when inexpensive sliced bread and American cheese became easily available. Originally it was made as an open-faced sandwich.
United States government cookbooks describe Navy cooks broiling "American cheese filling sandwiches" during World War II.
Grilled cheese sandwiches are versatile thanks to the ability to mix and match cheeses, bread, and seasonings. Adding sauteed vegetables or herb-infused oils can elevate this simple comfort food to a whole other level.
