Chicken Cordon Blue Grilled Cheese – Family favorite with the best – ham, fresh grilled chicken and topped with melty smooth Swiss cheese. Hearty sandwich for lunch or dinner.
This chicken cordon bleu grilled cheese is for friend or foe. Son or daughter. Everyone will enjoy this delicious sandwich. Young or old. Man or beast. Oops. I don’t know where that came from.
I certainly enjoyed every bite. Maybe I should have shared too. That would have been nice. But when it comes to food you can’t always judge a person by niceness.
Look at the gooey melty cheese. You know you want to go home now and make one, right? Or maybe you are home. Then, what are you waiting for?
I personally am a huge grilled cheese and tomato soup fan. I already have 2 tomato soup (one with fresh, one with canned tomatoes) recipes here on the blog and I have at least 2 more that I’d like to share when I have the time. I dream of gooey drippy cheese being plunked down into a gorgeous red, thick creamy bowl of tomato soup. Oh man. I totally need to go make me some lunch!
Be sure to check out some of my other sandwiches here on the blog too! You’ll leave hungry and happy.
