3 Ways to Enjoy a Healthier Grilled Cheese

We know what you might be thinking: “ahealthiergrilled cheese? Come on.”

你是对的。烤奶酪很美味可爱,因为它是一种可爱,舒适的烤三明治,粘糊糊的奶油奶酪。在不完全消除一切的乐趣的情况下,很难称呼这种健康食品。但是,有一些更明智的方法可以享受这种decade废的餐点,而无需做出巨大的卡路里承诺或破坏您的健康饮食目标。

Eating grilled cheese doesn’t have to be a cheat and can be part of a nutritious, comforting meal that’s quick to make and perfect for chilly weather. First, a few solid tips for making your healthiest grilled cheese sando:

  • Use whole-grain bread instead of plain white bread
  • Choose gooey cheeses over hard cheeses — they melt faster.
  • Melt a bit of butter to brush the sides of the bread before grilling or use olive oil to cut back on the added cooking fat.
  • Slather a bit of yogurt or ricotta on one side of the sandwich to bolster the cheesy flavor, without all of the fat.

Now that you’re on your way to your healthiest, melty-est grilled cheese, we’ll share our favorite ways to enjoy a healthier grilled cheese sandwich!

1. LOAD ON (HEALTHY!) EXTRAS

Yes, a grilled gooey, cheesy sandwich is delicious — especially when you layer in cheeses with different flavors. But just like any other dish, exciting flavors are compounded when you include more textures and flavors, and there’s no rule that says the only thing that belongs in a grilled cheese ischeese。尝试添加薄薄的苹果或梨,炒蘑菇,新鲜的芝麻菜,炒羽衣甘蓝甚至鳄梨,以散发出奶酪中最好的口味。这会增加纤维和维生素,同时减少准备美味的Sando所需的奶酪量。

2.PREP A WHOLE, GRILL A HALF

Instead of eating an entire grilled cheese sandwich and calling it a meal, chop your sando in half and enjoy a grilled cheese now and another one for another meal! We love the idea of prepping a whole sandwich, cutting it in half and grilling half. Set the other prepped half aside for another time when you’ve got a hankering for a gooey cheese fix. Enjoy the half sandwich with a cup of soup or a small salad to make it a more well-rounded meal.

3. MAKE GRILLED CHEESE STICKS OR BITES

整个烤奶酪很美味,但是烤奶酪很少的东西只是为了死去。他们足够大,可以满足渴望,但足够小,足以帮助保持卡路里的目标。要制造它们,请煮一个整个烤奶酪三明治,然后让其冷却一点。接下来,将其切成长条,然后将其切成较小的咬合大小的正方形。享用汤的叮咬,作为沙拉中的面包屑,甚至是快速小吃。
