OLD CHEDDAR, NUT AND HONEY GRILLED CHEESE

Those who do not like to enjoy a tasy grilled cheese raise their hands! That’s what we thought. Now, making grilled cheese is a pretty simple thing, let’s agree. But sometimes, it’s about adding a little funkiness and sophisticated ingredients (although we do love the original Kraft Singles) to create a grilled cheese that will make your taste buds go bonkers!

Ingredients:

• 8 slices of bread
• Butter
• 1/4 Cup of honey
• 1 cup old cheddar (grated)
• 1 pear, sliced (or apple)
• 1/4 cup of walnuts, roughly chopped
