These recipes featuring different Face Rock cheeses will take your grilled cheese mastery to the next level!

We celebrate any Grilled Cheese holiday with gusto. It's a great way to showcase our Face Rock cheeses on very different styles of sandwiches. We make our cheddars, Fromage Blanc and Monterey Jack with rich, high butterfat. This results in a fantastic melt-factor all around!

We have five grilled cheese sandwiches to share with you that earn consistent raves from family and friends. But before we get to the cheesy goodness, we have a few tips for you to maximize your grilled cheese enjoyment:

• A grilled cheese trick is to melt a tablespoon of butter in the pan before you add your sandwich for maximum buttery coverage.
• Turn your heat down after you flip your sandwich, especially if you are using a stovetop burner instead of a griddle. The pan is hotter than when you started and this can prevent a burnt second side.
• Use shreds, slivers or very thin slices of cheddar rather than one big slab. This will help your cheddar melt before your bread burns.
• For a panini style sandwich, use a heavy pan or a bacon press to apply consistent heavy pressure on your bread as it grills. 

Greened Up Monterey Jack Grilled Cheese

This greened-up grilled cheese sandwich is made with our creamy Monterey Jack, one of the best cheeses for melted goodness. Sautéed kale and onion are tucked in between two layers of thinly sliced Monterey Jack. We grill it slow over medium heat for a delightfully gooey and crunchy sando!

Ham, Apple and Habanero Grilled Cheese

We loaded up a flaky croissant with layers of our fresh Vampire Slayer garlic curds, creamy Smokey aged cheddar, and shaved ham for our Ham, Apple and Habanero Grilled Cheese. The flavor journey of this sandwich really comes together with a few thin slices of apple, stone ground mustard and Habanero Jelly by our home state pals at Kelly’s Jelly.

Smokey Turkey & Avo Grilled Cheese

Our creamy Monterey Jack and Smokey Cheddar share top billing in this avocado and smoked turkey melt!

Alpine Beer-Soaked Grilled Cheese

When we spied this beer battered grilled cheese from craftbeer.com we had to try it! We used Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar Ale, our Pepper Alpine cheddar and threw in bacon because, of course bacon! We loved how the nutty flavor of the brown ale combined with the black pepper bite in the Pepper Alpine.

Vampire Slayer Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese

This delicious grilled cheese combines garlic bread, Vampire Slayer cheddar and our creamy Monterey Jack.

Fill a sandwich with a generous layer of thinly sliced Vampire Slayer and Monterey Jack. Add a generous blob of compound garlic butter to a griddle preheated to medium heat. Once melted, place your sandwich right in the middle and grill until golden and melty. As you flip, add more butter to the griddle so that the second side has as much buttery goodness as the first.

To make our compound garlic butter, smash together a quarter cup soft butter, 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
