Not Your Ordinary Grilled Cheese

My go to food for dinner when I'm lacking an original meal thought is grilled cheese. Two pieces of white bread with American Cheese. If I'm feeling really fancy, I might add a couple of slices of swiss cheese. So yesterday was quite an epiphany for me as to how interesting the concept of "grilled cheese" can be. I had leftover baked chicken (yes, I baked an entire chicken for myself hoping that I could survive off eating it for a few days) and I had recently purchased fresh mozzarella and prosciutto from the grocery store. I decided to revamp my traditional concept of grilled cheese by sticking all these items in between two slices of Italian (fancy for white) bread. And so that I could feel better about the "healthiness" of this meal I decided to add a few leaves of baby spinach. Most people would then decide that a healthy dosage of tomatoes would be nice, but no, not me. In lieu of tomatoes I added tomato sauce, for that tomatoey (not really a word) taste. And voilà I was transformed, I will never be able to look at a simple american cheese only grilled sandwich the same again. For those of you who like pictures, I apologize, I was way too hungry to even think about taking a picture. Next time..
