Growing up my dad’s favorite meal to make for us was grilled cheese with tomato soup! It’s still one of my favorite meals, only NOW I like to DRESS UP my grilled cheese! TODAY is National Grilled Cheese day, so the perfect day to enjoy this Mediterranean grilled cheese!
I LOVE the flavors from other cultures, I think most of my favorite burgers or grilled cheese creations are inspired by the food from another country! This grilled cheese is no exception, with three cheeses -mozzerella, goat cheese and feta – there is a lot to love about this sandwich!

I personally thought I added too much of the kalamata olives, I’ll be a little more sparing next time, but that’s the great thing about grilled cheese! you can personalize it for each person, my husband wanted MORE of the kalamata olives! They have a strong flavor for SURE so if you don’t like it you can use regular olives instead!

This looks fantastic! I love goat cheese, but no one else in my family will eat it. I will definitely have to buy some to make these sandwiches!

then use the rest in my stuffed burgers 😉 ha, my kids don’t love goat cheese either, but I sure do!

oh feta and goat cheese sound so amazing! My son who is 7 has been dying for me to buy goat cheese, don’t ask me why. I may have to make this for him 🙂
