If you are trying to figure out what to serve with grilled cheese sandwiches, this list is exactly what you are looking for. Grilled cheese sandwiches are a family favorite and a hearty hot sandwich on their own. But they really need a simple side to make a complete meal. Therefore, you will want to pick the best easy side dish to go well with your favorite grilled cheese recipe. Whether you enjoy calling it a panini, Croque Monsieur, melt, or cheese toast, all these side dishes are perfect to serve with them.

If you want a salad, soup, vegetables, fruit, or potato, we have you covered with so many choices on what to enjoy with your sandwich. Many fellow food bloggers have shared some of their quick and easy side dish recipes to eat with grilled cheese sandwiches. All of these sides pair well with the toasty buttered bread and salty melty cheesy inside that makes them so irresistible.
In our house, we love a simple grilled cheese sandwich with sourdough bread and good-quality cheddar. But we do mix it up sometimes and will add avocado, tomato, bacon, or other fun ingredients. One of my favorites is my recipe for a salty, sweet, and spicy version - GRILLED CHEESE WITH FIGS AND HOT HONEY! If you want a great grilled cheese without a stove or pan try my sandwich recipe hacks - Microwave Grilled Cheese or Toaster Oven Grilled Cheese.
