This red pepper grilled cheese sandwich is one of the first recipes I shared on my social media pages, and I’m finally uploading it on my blog many years later. The roasted red pepper and cheese combination is a flavor combo I still treasure. Roasted pepper adds a depth of flavor to grilled cheese and nutritional benefits.
