Panko Crusted Grilled Cheese Sandwiches



These grilled cheese sandwiches are coated in panko breadcrumbs, giving them a crunchy finish.

Last week I made Crunchy French Toast by coating the bread in panko breadcrumbs, which gave me the idea to do something similar for grilled cheese sandwiches. I loved how these turned out. Crunchy on the outside, with gooey melted cheese in the middle. I’ve also done a version adding pesto and one using tomatoes.



I’ve been on a grilled cheese kick lately. It’s fast, easy, comforting and doesn’t take a lot of effort. I’m going to keep this post short and simple because I’m writing it on a Monday. Okay it’s technically Tuesday since it’s past midnight, but I haven’t gone to sleep yet so I’m still in Monday mode.

I find myself so exhausted on Mondays. It doesn’t matter if I had a restful weekend or a busy weekend, Monday morning feels like I didn’t get enough sleep for days. I’m always careful to avoid doing tasks that could require a lot of thinking on Mondays. So I avoid signing important documents, writing complex letters or emails, etc. Otherwise, when I wake up on Tuesday I’ll usually cringe at what Monday me did.

Bottom line: these sandwiches were delicious and I definitely recommend giving them a try.
