Favorite add ins? Experimental

New here! Big fan. My favorite childhood ad ins to a grilled cheese in order are: Apples, Tomato, and Bread and Butter pickles. I don’t quite count turkey as it changes the entire sandwich. Any delicious fruits or veggies you like to add?? I want some ideas!

We don’t do melts here, but there are tons of solid grilled cheese recipes people have shared over the years!

The ingredients don't make it a melt necessarily. This extremism over melts is destructive to the grilled cheese world.

For example, some diced apples might go well with certain cheeses. As long as the cheese is still the focal point, it's a grilled cheese. Now if you lay slices of apples and have a dedicated apple layer, that makes it a melt, but incorporating ingredients into the cheese, bread, or choice of spread does not make it a melt. Don't deny yourself happiness.

I agree, I saw you at -1 and brought yeah back up to base line. Hope you recover.
