Comfort food is taken to the next level! Yes, this version of a classic grilled cheese is going to blow your mind. Using a whole lot of 3 kinds of cheeses, gruyere, cheddar, and gouda, makes it the best grilled cheese ever. It’s best served with an easy-to-make sheet pan tomato soup that is creamy and tangy, plus it pairs perfectly with the nutty, savory, crunchy grilled cheese!

Author's Notes

If your tomatoes are too sour, you might want to add more sugar or heavy cream to reduce the acidity of the soup.
