Trying to get back into the swing of things over here with being out of the kitchen the last two months with the remodeling and now having my kitchen back but busy with the holidays. Trying to set up a new studio and make some modifications to the blog while soaking up family time this week. Also preparing for a get together for New Years and a birthday so I’m pulling up a couple of the recipes and posts that never got posted for one reason or another or just got lost in the shuffle. While I gear up and get ready to start cranking out recipes and play in the kitchen is there a food you would love to see this year or try? Let me know and I’ll do the dirty work and test it out for you! Oh and something pretty exciting, I got word on Saturday that my Perfectly Perfect Pistachio Chocolate Tart won a Navitas Naturals recipe contest! So if you still aren’t sure what to make for New Years, maybe try this tart and go out with and start with a bang, a superfood bang, with this delicious tart!
It’s soup season here, it has been for awhile as we have had evenings and mornings in the 30’s since the beginning of October. There is always the debate in the house over crackers, bread, if bread what kind of bread, salad, or grilled cheese with soup. It tends to depend on the type of soup I think as to which should be served with it, or for me just soup is always a good option. The family use to be big grilled cheese fans, not usually traditional cheddar cheese, but lately nobody really wants them so we have been doing Naan bread, crackers, salad, or veggies. I thought one night about how my mom use to make pigs in a blanket minus the pigs… well my brother had pigs. Then when I met my husband he said growing up that his mom would make hot dog roll ups. She would butter bread, wrap it around a hot dog, and sometimes add cheese and sprinkled them with garlic salt, put a tooth pick in it and baking it. To switch things up one night I made the girls little Grilled Cheese Rolls to dunk into the soup that in my mind looked like little Swiss Cake Rolls. I paired them with the new Annie’e boxed soup the girls picked out for a quick dinner after gymnastics and they were a winner! Perfect for when it’s soup season and you want to switch or spice things up with or without the soup!
Grilled Cheese Rolls
Makes 2 servings
4 slices of bread (used Silver Hills Bakery Sprouted Little Big Bread)
4 slices of cheese or 1c shredded cheese (used Daiya Mozzarella and Pepper Jack Shredded Cheese in these)
coconut oil or butter spray or spread
garlic salt, optional
Preheat oven to 350F. Roll bread flat with a rolling pin and cut off the crust. Spray or spread both sides with coconut oil or butter. Lay a slice of cheese down or press 1/4c of shredded cheese of choice onto a slice of bread. Roll up, securing with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining slices. Bake for approximately 10 minutes until bread is toasted and cheese is melted. Enjoy!

So perfectly acceptable for dipping!
I have to say there is definitely a difference depending on the cheese you use, especially if you are wanting a grilled cheese with major ooze and stretchy cheese.

Oh I love a grilled cheese with my soup too! Great idea to roll them up first. Thanks for linking up with us today. Yay for the new kitchen

YES! There is definitely an art to getting the right amount of cheese without it oozing everywhere. I think if the girls had it their way it would have been one big fat piece of cheese that the bread just fit around. LOL

Congrats on winning the recipe contest! I’ve been enjoying all kinds of cheesy goodness before I start a paleo-ish diet in January.

Thank you!
You should rush over and help clear the cheese out of our house! We tried some new ones for Christmas this year and didn’t get some of our favs (big mistake), and the hubby wanted a few brie wheels so we have so much cheese and not a lot that would work on our homemade pizzas for our New Years Eve party like we usually have. So we have lots of cheese to be eaten and more to pick up for the pizzas, so if you don’t get your fill head on over!

Congrats on the recipe! Actually both because they both sound incredibly delicious.

I haven’t had grilled cheese anything in forever. I need to get me some Daiya so I can make these!

I went for so long without a grilled cheese and then had one and missed one of my old favorite combos that I still need to make. Or these are perfect for the next time you that last little bit of Daiya shreds that need to be used up!
