<div><p>Let's take a moment to appreciate the beautiful delight that is warm melted cheese on toasty and buttery sliced bread. Yes, I'm talking about grilled cheese. The classic comfort food is not only delicious and easy to make but it also brings about so much nostalgia. </p><p>However, as an adult and a self-proclaimed foodie, my tastes buds are now much more refined so the basic processed cheese on white bread combo doesn't always cut it. In my search for "grown-up" grilled cheese recipes, I've come across endless possibilities and mouth-watering flavour combinations. Here are 10 sophisticated and irresistible re-inventions of the iconic sandwich. Bon appetit!</p><p></p><p>1. <strong>Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese</strong></p><div><figure><a href="http://www.nutmegnanny.com/2013/04/19/philly-cheesesteak-grilled-cheese/" target="_blank"><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/philly-600x600.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/philly-600x600_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></a><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite><a href="http://www.nutmegnanny.com/2013/04/19/philly-cheesesteak-grilled-cheese/" target="_blank">Nutmeganny.com</a></cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>This marriage of the beloved grilled cheese and philly cheese steak is drool worthy!
