Grilled Cheese

Are you up for some comfort food? I made the best grilled cheese using Franz 7 Grain bread, which is nice and soft and even tastes like real bread. I put cheddar cheese, muenster cheese and some bacon on it and put it in a hot pan with a little butter. Left it in just long enough to crisp up, then flipped it over. It was so flavorful and cheesy. It tasted just like the sandwiches I remember having as a kid! Yummy!!
