Grilled cheese probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions healthy breakfast options, but that’s not stopping people from eating it first thing in the morning. If you love it as much as the rest of us, here are few simple swaps that could make it a little bit healthier.
Cheese Choice
The cheese you’re using will determine how healthy your grilled cheese is going to be. Using cheeses with sharp flavors, such as cheddar, parmesan, and hard goat cheese, can do you a lot of good because you’ll need less cheese than you would if you used mild varieties.
Bread Choice
The bread you’re using can make or break your grilled cheese because it’s the most crucial ingredient. White bread is best avoided and you should try to replace it with whole-grain varieties.
Ditch Butter
If you happen to be one of those people who make grilled cheese with butter, it’s time to stop. Your grilled cheese will be much healthier without it, while still keeping its rich and crispy texture.
Healthy Toppings
If you enjoy making grilled cheese with extra toppings, stick to the healthiest possible options, such as fruits and veggies.
