One thing we love about this time of year is hosting parties! Last week we hosted a cocktail night with friends and we made a grilled cheese bar for a party snack.
We had so much fun picking out interesting toppings for the grilled cheese bar! We had pesto, spicy blue cheese mustard, candied pecans, wasabi sauce and sun dried tomatoes… just to name a few. Everyone had a great time choosing toppings and testing out combinations. I have to say, this was one of my favorite themed food bars we’ve ever created because it was casual, but still unusual and special!
Do you love planning parties? We’re excited to ring in the new year with a fun party next week. We have a feeling 2013 is going to be an epic year! xoxo. Elsie
I like cheese i also want cheese party….
My husband and I take a lake trip with friends every June and on the night it was our turn to prepare dinner, we did a giant grilled cheese bar with not only many pre-planned toppings, but also some leftovers from previous meals, like goetta (it’s a Cincinnati thing we all love) and pepperoni. It was a huge hit!
I love this idea so much, I am actually doing it for my son’s first birthday party this weekend. What other toppings did you do? Besides the ones that were listed? And did you make the blue cheese mustard? Or make it?
I’m also wondering how the grilling of the sandwiches came into play. Panini press? I think that’s what I’d do, but I’d like to hear how you guys did it. Thanks!!
I just fell back in love with grilled cheese! This is such a great idea. Now…since I usually love every recipe you post…how about an amazing creaming tomato soup one! <3
This is a freaking fantastic idea!!! I love Grilled Cheese and experimenting with different cheeses :} thanks for sharing.

I love to plan parties,I`m already planning for Easter and my Halloween party in 2013 🙂

I did a grilled cheese party on election night. Also amazing–apples! They go well with lots of cheese flavors. 🙂
Oh my gosh! I LOVE this idea! I’m such a big fan of concoting my own grilled cheese combos on my own but it’s so fun to get a group to make their own unique sandwhich! Bookmarking this to save this for a rainy day. :]
Elsie and Emma,
This is awesome, it reminds me of the cheese platter you had on your blog over the summer. I used that idea for my small, second, country wedding, and had many compliments on the cheese platter. We had vintage table cloths, pop in glass bottles, paper straws, galvinized tubs with ice for the pop, paper lanterns from the ceiling and it was so beautiful! Your cheese platter was perfect for the short time when everyone grabbed a drink and the caterer delivered the dinner. Keep up the great posts
