Green Goddess Grilled Cheese

Let me start off by saying this is certainly not one of my healthier recipes. Now that I got that out of the way, this grilled cheese is incredible. And while I do not condone this as healthy, you are getting some veggies along side all that cheese!

Note: make sure you strategically place your cheese if you want to get that awesome pull apart cheese look when you cut this sandwich in half, otherwise you will be disappointed. Case in point check my video on Instagram.
