Meatball Parm Grilled Cheese

"Let’s chat for a hot minute about food…and more specifically about this Meatball Parm Grilled Cheese. I do love a good chicken parm, but I decided to put a twist on the classic here. We traded in the pasta for thick-cut Texas toast, and the chicken got switched to meatballs. I’d made a huge batch of meatballs as part of this recipe for spaghetti and meatballs, and those meatballs had been staring at me every time I opened the freezer. I decided to put them to work. I decided to make a Meatball Parm Grilled Cheese. Grilled cheese sandwiches are one of those versatile recipes. You can make them as simple you’d like or as gourmet as you can imagine. You can go American cheese + butter, or you can go with a mixture of fancy cheeses and crazy toppings. At the end of the day, it’s melty cheese on buttered bread…and cheese is delicious! For this Meatball Parm Grilled Cheese, I started with Texas toast. I find Texas toast to be essential for grilled cheese. It’s a bit thicker, so it holds up well when you add extra ingredients. I also mixed some dried herbs and salt into the butter for the outside of the toast. Hint: Do this. Every grilled cheese you make from now until forever should include a pinch of dried herbs and kosher salt. Seriously!"
