Grilled Cheese Fanatic: 5 New Takes on an Old Classic for Office Meals
Posted by Amelia K. on Friday, November 7th, 2014 with 4 Comments
After summer winds down and the air starts to turn a little cooler, comfort foods begin to be a hot topic on everyone’s mind as the noon hour approaches. The great thing about a grilled cheese is there are options for everyone, from vegetarians to the biggest meat eaters. A grilled cheese also pairs nicely with your favorite winter salads and soups, helping you to get a more well-rounded meal that leaves you feeling full and satisfied for the rest of your afternoon. But sometimes, ordering a traditional grilled cheese every week can get old, really fast – especially when it’s such an easy (and inexpensive) way to round out meals during the week.
So if you love a great grilled cheese, but are tired of the white bread, American cheese combo, how can you mix things up? Lucky for you, we’ve pulled our five favorite meal order swaps to try this month to make your next grilled cheese food delivery order fabulous.
Finding a new way to order a grilled cheese – through different cheeses and new toppings – can make you feel like you’re eating a whole new sandwich!

Bacon, Tomato and Fresh Mozzarella
A fresh take on an old favorite, this yummy sandwich mixes the texture of crunchy bacon, farm fresh tomatoes, and smooth, sliced mozzarella on grilled sourdough. It can actually take your grilled cheese between the seasons – the fresh flavors make it perfect for any time of year, including summer! Want to take it up another notch? Add on fresh basil and some balsamic vinaigrette when you place your order – it’s like a protein filled caprese salad and grilled cheese mixture.
Goat Cheese and Peppadew
This grilled cheese will put a smile on even the pickiest foodie’s face. Made with multi-grain bread, this sandwich packs an extra punch of fiber and adds texture,which mixes perfectly with the creaminess of the goat cheese and flavor of the peppadews. Ready to round out this lunch order? Grab a bowl of delicious tomato basil soup – it’s packed with lycopene, which is linked to a lower risk of stroke, and offers the perfect flavor accompaniment for dipping.
Pesto, Provolone and Mozzarella
If you’re a cheese lover, then this is the perfect lunch to order today. Packed with melted, gooey provolone and mozzarella, this sandwich is rounded out with fresh pesto flavor and then grilled on potato bread. It’s a once-in-a-while indulgence that will fill that comfort food craving you’ve had all week – without packing on a ton of calories!
Mediterranean
One of the best things about Mediterranean food is that it’s packed with veggies and delicious hummus – which is also super healthy for you! And this lunch is packed with flavor AND healthy ingredients, starting with the whole grain bread. Loaded with monterey jack and feta, it’s certainly not lacking in cheese. Add on some sliced zucchini, cucumber and Kalamata olives – you have the pickings for what just might be your new favorite lunch delivery meal!
Fig and Brie
When you’re looking for a sandwich that includes a touch of decadence, this is the one for which you’ve been searching. Spread with a lovely brie and smothered in a light fig spread, the combination of flavors on this sandwich leads to a sweet and salty mixture that feels indulgent, but not over the top. Grilled to perfection on two slices of crusty french bread, you’ll feel like walking the streets of Paris after enjoying this delicious meal delivery.
Taste and Texture Make the Perfect Fit
Ordering the same sandwich every day for lunch – especially if it’s a sandwich you make a lot at home – can get boring, really quickly. These new takes on an old favorite take your lunch up a notch by perfectly pairing the right tastes and textures to give you a new flavor – and almost, a new sandwich. Paired with a yummy salad or veggie filled soup, a grilled cheese can definitely be one half of a power meal that keeps you full and energized throughout the rest of your day.

There is nothing I love better than a grilled cheese…especially when it’s cold outside! The Goat Cheese and Peppadew sounds amazing, and it’s totally not a combination I would have thought of! In colder months it’s definitely all about the comfort food.
I agree, Lindsay – grilled cheese combos are perfect for colder weather!
These seem great. I have recently started experimenting with my grilled cheese maker. I made pesto, pizza pockets, and hot PBJ. I’ll be trying the rest of these to bring to work.
These sound really yummy! I’ll have to look for some to order tomorrow!
