I think this might be the BEST grilled cheese I’ve ever had! (And I’ve had a lot of them.) I call it the 3-2-1 Grilled Cheese because 3 veggies with 2 kinds of Real California Milk cheese makes for 1 delicious sandwich.

Are you looking to Spring Clean your diet? Instead of cutting out certain foods or food groups … consider adding in ingredients that are good for you.


The idea is that you’ll crowd out some of the less than healthy foods you want to cut back on with better-for-you options for balanced consumption of nutrient-dense foods, from both plant-based and dairy sources. And this sandwich packs a lot of nutrients from both to help with that!

Cook sandwich…


Tip: Put a plate that’s about the size of the bread and smaller than the pan on top of sandwich. This will help it melt together, toast the bread and make it easier to flip.


When the first side is done, carefully flip it and cook the other side. Cook until cheese is melted and bread is toasted. Repeat with the other sandwich.
Enjoy!
