14 Grilled Sandwich Recipes
*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

1. Bombay Grilled Double Decker Sandwich: Serve with a spicy ketchup. If you can make it that far – I waited about 5 seconds before I ate it (and that was only because the cheese was so hot!). It was THAT good. Worth every word of all the fuss! Recipe found at My Food Blog.
2. Blackberry Grilled Cheese Sandwich: If Elvis Presley had his peanut butter and banana grilled sandwich to die for, I have this blackberry preserves and grilled cheese sandwich as my addiction. I discovered this sandwich recipe a few months ago in one of the magazines I bought and it has been a regular source of comfort ever since. For variety, I often switch around the fruit preserves I use: raspberry, orange marmalade, grape, or whatever jellies I have on hand. All are gooey good choices! Recipe found at The Cook Mobile.
3. Grilled Avocado Sandwich with Garlic Spread: The bright, bold flavor notes of feta cheese, tomato, and garlic compliment the mellow mozzarella and unctuous avocado. Recipe found at 3 Zesty Lemons.
4. Paula’s Diner Tuna Melts: One menu item that you’ll find at most diners is a tuna melt. Have you ever had one? There’s something magical about a grilled sandwich, and grilling transforms tuna salad into something comfy and satisfying. I’ve experimented with this particular sandwich the past couple of days, and I think I’ve found a winner. Here’s the deal. Recipe found at It’s All Gouda.
5. Grilled Chicken and Mozzarella Panini: I started out by making the bread dough. I wanted something that would compliment that flavors I planned to put on the panini. And couldn’t find any bread that worked, so I decided to make it myself. I made a Sun-Dried and Basil Tomato Foccacia bread. Sounds fancy, but it was easy! Here’s how I made it. Recipes found at What’s Cookin Good Lookin.
6. Grilled Reuben Sandwich: Reuben sandwiches are a favorite of my husbands and mine but they can be so fattening. I decided to make them healthier so we could enjoy them guilt free. They taste so good, are easy to make & super quick. Recipe found at For The Love Of Cooking.
7. Puffy Banana Peanut Butter Cup Sweet Grilled Sandwich: They tasted just as good as I hoped. I mean, what’s not to like with bananas, peanut butter, chocolate and marshmallows? Kind of hard to mess that combo up! Recipe found at Picky Palate.
8. Grilled Eggplant Sandwich Recipe: This Grilled Eggplant Sandwich uses the grilled eggplant I wrote about earlier. It’s a summertime staple for a quick after work dinner or even a sack lunch when I don’t feel like blowing $10 at the deli. As with all sandwiches, be sure to use good, fresh, bread. Recipe found at Humble Recipes.
9. Fast & Easy Dinner: Grilled Egg Sandwich: Quick cooked scrambled eggs are layered with spinach, tomatoes, and cheese. The whole sandwich is pan grilled lightly for a fantastic taste sensation. It also makes a great on the go sandwich. Recipe found at Yum Sugar.
10. French Dip Panini: The addition of the Gruyère and crispy grilled French bread, dipped into the richly robust au jus, really did conjure up fond memories of the French onion soup my mom used to make. Next time I might brush a little melted butter on the bread before grilling to get better grill marks, but otherwise I was incredibly satisfied with how this sandwich turned out. Here’s to succumbing to inspiration! Recipe found at Panini Happy.
11. Lined with Gruyere and Spilling Over with Caramelized Onions: We made these sandwiches a couple Saturdays ago, when the skies were grey and the wind rattled our windows. The sandwiches—lined with grueyere and spilling over with a tangle of caramelized onions—were just what the doctor ordered. Recipe found at The Kitchen Sink.
12. Pesto Mozzarella Grilled Cheese: I got this idea from Tyler Florence on the Ultimate Rainy Day Episode of Tyler’s Ultimate. But he made pesto from scratch – I’m sure homemade pesto would be even better, but this is the quick and easy weeknight version & I have trouble finding fresh basil in large quantities, so I’m using prepared pesto. Recipe found at The Fragrant Hand.
13. Chicken Salad Panini: Honey-mustard flavor of chicken salad Grilled indoors, this delightful sandwich can be enjoyed any time of year. “The honey mustard dressing gives the chicken plenty of pizzazz, and the apples and pecans lend a lively crunch.” Recipe found at Taste Of Home.
14. Monte Cristo: It is basically a ham and cheese sandwich that is cooked as if it were french toast. It is usually served with strawberry or raspberry jam or even syrup. It reminded me of the Croque Monsieur which is another way of making an interesting ham and cheese sandwich. Recipe found at Closet Cooking.
