Today is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day – and what better time to celebrate this classic meal than now! So how did this phenomenon begin? Sliced bread and processed cheese escalated in popularity in the early 1900s. During World War II, government-issued cookbooks described them as “American cheese filling sandwiches;” and by the 1940s and 1950s, an open-faced version of the cheap and easy sandwich was being served across the United States[1]. Whether you call it a grilled cheese or toasted cheese sandwich, there is no denying that they’re delicious as a snack, lunch or even dinner!
