On the menu tonight, Sourdough Grilled Cheese with Havarti Cheese and Chopped Broccoli!
If you are having tomato soup, you need a grilled cheese sandwich, right? Well, here you go! The sandwich is just as special as the soup. I used sourdough bread with Havarti cheese and to make it a little different, I added some chopped steamed broccoli. I served this with a bowl beautiful homemade tomato soup.

I’d like to write a long story and description about how I made the sandwich, but it’s a grilled cheese. I buttered the bread, put buttered side down on the panini press, added a few slices of Havarti cheese, then added some chopped broccoli, a couple more slices of cheese, topped it off with another piece of buttered bread and let the panini press down. OH! The panini press was cold during assembly. I didn’t turn it on until the sandwich was assembled.
Once the sandwich was sufficiently grilled – you be the judge of what is sufficient for you. I prefer lightly grilled.
I hope the next time you are in the mood for a grilled cheese sandwich, you will try my version!
