Grilled cheese is a classic comfort food made by sandwiching cheese between two slices of bread and cooking it until golden brown and melted, typically in butter or oil. Originating from the United States, this dish has roots in quick, easy meals that became popular in the early 20th century. Traditional grilled cheese is rich in flavors and nutrients like calcium and protein from the cheese, but it can also be high in saturated fat and sodium, depending on the cheese and cooking method used. By opting for whole-grain bread, low-fat cheese, and lighter cooking options such as olive oil or non-stick pans, you can make a healthier version of this timeless favorite. Often enjoyed as a standalone snack or paired with soups, grilled cheese offers satisfying warmth and indulgence while providing a customizable base for nutritional improvement.
