Breakfast Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Maple Syrup

Breakfast Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Maple Syrup

A perfectly golden brown toasty, buttery grilled cheese sandwich filled with ooey gooey melted cheese served for breakfast, smothered in maple syrup.

As many of you know, I am a little bit obsessed with grilled cheese sandwiches! While I was in Montreal, a friend at Van Houtte coffee suggested something new, a grilled cheese sandwich served with maple syrup and as soon as I heard the idea, I knew that I would have to try it! The sweet and savoury combination often works out well and when you combine two of my favourite things, grilled cheese sandwiches and maple syrup, you are bound to get a winner. Like I needed an excuse to try a grilled cheese sandwich in a new way!
The grilled cheese sandwich served covered in maple syrup turned out just as well as I thought it would! The sweet and savoury combination was magnificent and I will definitely be doing it again! Now grilled cheese sandwiches are not just for lunch any more and this is the perfect excuse to have them for breakfast!

    I literally just cooked and ate this after reading your post!! It was strange at first but then it made sense. I added turkey bacon on top so that with the cheese was really salty, the syrup balanced everything nicely.
    I have to go work out now 🙂

    Try making a grilled cheddar cheese and crispy bacon sandwich on french toast with maple syrup. It's edging closer to a Monte Cristo than a traditional grilled cheese, but man… that's living.

    The wife thinks thinly sliced pears in it would also be good.

    This breakfast grilled cheese Sammy is nothing new. I have been eating this since I was a little kid and I’m 60 now! This was served to us at least 2-3 times per week either for breakfast or dinner as we all loved it so much! It’s now one of my daughters go to Sammy’s to make and she’s 35. Thanks for bringing this sandwich to light for the folks that have never tried this amazing Sammy!,!
