This summer we threw my friend a birthday party with the best theme ever ~ Grilled cheese! That’s right friends. I suggest you do this at your next party pronto!
We had every topping we could think of & invited our guests to build their own sandwiches that we then cooked up in lots of butter. Party perfection!

As you might all ready know I love grilled cheese & could eat it 6X a day. I love the melty cheese, crispy butter fried edges…and everything about them! I’ve posted many grilled cheese recipes here on my blog & will continue to do so. My mind is always on grilled cheese.

Soooooo many possibilities! I could go on forever with this theme 🙂
BEST PARTY EVER. The turkey, white cheddar, horseradish cheddar, caramelized onions, jalapeño peppers, olive rosemary bread sounds SO good.
That grilled cheese was seriously delish!!
This is a fantastic idea! I also love grilled cheese and could it eat it easily every day!
Me too! Hard to refrain from eating it every day 🙂
GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!! I once did a guacamole bar themed post but I am loving this idea almost more! You know I will be at this party, babysitting the griddle, waiting for my grilled cheese and sampling as many versions as possible! Pinned!
Ha! I gotta say that my friend who was watching the griddle was having a ball! The samples were abundant and the vino made everything more festive 😉 Thanks for the pin LOVE!
What a great idea! A grown up take on grilled cheese 🙂
I can’t think of anything that sounds better than non stop grilled cheese!
Right?! Every guest was more than thrilled!
I love this, such a fun party idea! Pinned!
BEST IDEA EVER! Who needs a taco bar or a sundae bar when you can have a grilled cheese bar! GAH. It’s amazing. What a great idea, Marla. Can’t wait to try this out for a party.
Glad you like this idea Liz!! Hopefully you can share this idea with pals soon 🙂
SO hungry now, Marla!! What a fun party idea – even for kids.
LOVE love love this idea! I am dying to try the bacon, gouda tomato grilled cheese! Sounds out of this world! Pinned!
What a fun idea! Everyone loves grilled cheese. And we could make it even better with our homemade cheese! I’d make mine with some homemade bacon and pan-fried onions. Yum!
Oh my goodness Carmen ~ homemade cheese would put these over the top! How special 🙂
This is brilliant! This might also work if you have a pannini press (though I am a butter in cast iron kind of gal myself)
Love this idea! So easy and fun. My favorite so far would have to be the Chicken, Avocado, Tomato Grilled Cheese recipe!
Thanks Alina! That is a great sandwich!!
This is such an amazing party. We do most for school lunches except the greens. I never thought it would be a hit with kids. But I guess I’m wrong. It’s worth a try and take a note of works and what not. Thanks for sharing this brilliant idea.
Definitely want to make this kinda bar party in my near future!! Everyone would go nuts over it!!
The Grilled Cheese with Bacon – need I say more!
You said my two favorite words ~ cheese & bacon!!
