Craving comfort food? Then, you have to try this Spicy Artichoke and Sun Dried Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
Well, I've made it to Texas in one piece.
The move went very smoothy, and I've already started exploring Dallas. I can't wait to share photos of my new apartment and some of local sights I've checked out.
Before that happens though, I need to unpack ... check back with me in a few months about that!
All of this moving stress has made me tired and hungry. There is nothing better than comfort food in these types of situations, and this Spicy Artichoke and Sun Dried Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich is just that!
Spicy Artichoke and Sun Dried Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich
I'm not sure my photos convey the deliciousness of this gourmet grilled cheese ... it is so good!
It's also simple to make. You'll start with a good white bread, then top it with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, artichoke hearts, and sun dried tomatoes.
If you love spicy food like I do, you'll want to pile on the jalapeños next. (Use a really excellent quality pickled jalapeño, like my fave, La Morena.) Yum!
Of course, if you prefer your food sans kick, the jalapeños are completely optional. To make this sandwich even spicier, try it with Pepper Jack cheese.
That's what I plan to do the next time I make this spicy Grilled Cheese Sandwich. In my book, hotter is better!
After adding the jalapeños, the bread get brushed with olive oil and grilled to perfection.
So easy and so delicious!

- Add an additional ⅛ of cheese over veggies and jalapeños.
- Place another bread slice over sandwich. Brush one side of sandwich lightly with olive oil.
