Did you know the Ancient Romans were the first civilization to make a cooked bread and cheese sandwich?
Many cultures have invented their own take on this ancient dish. In France, people enjoy Croque Monsieur (a grilled ham and cheese sandwich); in Switzerland, it is customary to melt the cheese and toast the bread separately before combining them.
The classic American grilled cheese sandwich emerged in the 1920s when inexpensive cheese and affordable sliced bread became available. It is now a staple in cafes, diners, and school cafeterias across the country.
