April 12th is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, a day to try something new.

Actually, the entire month of April is National Grilled Cheese Month, so you’ve got an additional 17 days.

Preparation

1. DIVIDE the butter evenly among the four slices of bread, spreading it on one side of each slice.

We also buy extra for table cheese, and to make this delicious blue cheese dip from PopArtichoke.com.

Our favorite blues from America’s artisan cheesemakers: Anything from Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese, anything from Rogue Creamery, and Bayley Hazen from Jasper Hill Farm.
