BLACKBERRY BACON

This grilled cheese is the perfect balance of sweet and savory with Swiss cheese, bacon, and blackberry jam on nice, thick slices of sourdough bread. Add fresh jalapeno slices for a delicious and unexpected spicy kick!

From Lemon Tree Dwelling

APPLE + GOUDA

This grilled cheese sandwich is super simple, yet still deserves a place on this list for its amazingly complex tart and savory flavor profile featuring smoked gouda and fall favorite, granny smith apples.

PEAR, GORGONZOLA + BRIE

Here’s another grilled cheese featuring fresh fall fruit and a decidedly different flavor profile with pungent gorgonzola and rich brie.

GRUYERE, HERB + CARAMELIZED ONION

Gruyere is easily one of my favorite cheeses, even though I’m not crazy about traditional Swiss cheese. This cheese is technically in the Swiss cheese family, but tastes so much better, especially in this grilled cheese sandwich with white cheddar cheese, sweet caramelized onions, and tasty rosemary butter.

From The Chunky Chef

PUMPKIN, CHOCOLATE + BRIE

This sandwich is the ultimate dessert grilled cheese. Pumpkin butter may seem like a strange ingredient, but trust me, it’s amazing! It can be difficult to find in stores, though, so here’s an easy recipe to make your own.

JALAPEÑO POPPER

Here’s another spicy jalapeño offering that just like eating jalapeño poppers in sandwich form with crispy bacon, cream cheese, and Monterey Jack and sharp cheddar cheeses!

From Small Town Woman

BACON, BRIE + APRICOT

This sandwich has salty bacon, creamy brie, sweet apricot jam, and a balsamic reduction drizzled on top. If you’ve never had balsamic reduction, I recommend you try it. When you reduce balsamic vinegar, it gets really sweet and yummy – the perfect addition to this unique grilled cheese sandwich.

DILL PICKLE BACON

Dill pickle flavors seem to be everywhere! They’re even making dill pickle potato chips, which I must admit I’ve tried, and they’re actually really good! Anyway, if you enjoy dill pickles as much as I do, you need to try this crazy dill pickle and bacon grilled cheese with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses for a seriously flavorful treat.

Buffalo chicken is another super popular flavor at the moment. Get your fix with this ooey gooey buffalo chicken grilled cheese with bacon and cheddar cheese.
