An assortment of tiny grilled cheese sandwiches

I thought it would be fun to make a few different types of small grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. It’s just as easy to make a few different types as it is to make one. I also love making mini grilled cheese sandwiches to pair with slow-roasted tomato soup. They are perfect for dipping!

I used half of a seeded baguette, cut into 1/2-inch slices (I wish I had gone a little bit thinner), cheddar cheese, emmentaler cheese, apricot preserves, and some thinly sliced sausage.

I buttered one side of each slice of bread, then tried a few different combinations inside: cheddar and sausage, plain cheddar, emmentaler and apricot preserves, and emmentaler and sausage.

The emmentaler/apricot combination was the winner, in my opinion!

Portobello mushroom sandwiches

These are so tasty, and I get to eat something (practically) vegetarian, while Paco gets to fire up the grill.  Win-win.

I use this recipe from The Pioneer Woman, and follow it to a T.  The first time that I made it, I thought that two mushrooms per sandwich would be excessive, but it turns out, it’s perfect!  I also add a clove or two of minced garlic to the basil-mayo spread. (I usually hate mayo, but in this case, it makes the sandwich.)

Here are the mushrooms on the grill.

Here’s the finished product.

See the little slice of prosciutto in the background?  I asked the lady at the deli counter for an extra slice. Guess who it’s for. . .

Mom!  More prosciutto, please!
