Grilled Cheese Party

On Tuesday I shared with you a fun Make Your Own Juice Bar party idea. If you haven’t checked it out yet please do so and don’t forget to enter the $100 Visa Gift card giveaway sponsored by Simply Cranberry that is there too!! Could you use an extra $100???

In that post I promised to share with you what we had to eat at the party along with our yummy juice concoctions.

Not only did I make them mix their own beverage I made them make their own dinner too. I decided to make my guests work for their dinner!  We had a Grilled Cheese Party.

Grilled Cheese Bar Party Idea
Plan a fun and easy party with a Grilled Cheese Bar

I put together a collection of fun fixins for grilled cheese sandwiches and let my guests have at it putting together all kinds of yummy and crazy combinations.

Of course there was cheese -six different kinds of cheese to be exact.  There was smoked cheddar, havarti, brie, colby jack, pepper jack and smoked gouda.  I rolled out some butcher paper onto the table and placed the cheese right on the paper.  Then I just labeled each type of cheese with a marker.  So easy and fun.

There were three different types of bread – sourdough, herbed focaccia and ciabatta. And three choices of meat – turkey, ham and roast beef.

I also had a fun selection of condiments they could add to their sandwich .

And then some other fun add ins too!  One of my favorites was potato chips but I also had caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, black olives, spinach,tomatoes, apple slices, and red onion.

The fun part was just seeing all the fun combinations that people put together.

I had two panini grills lined up, heated and ready to go.  I also had some olive oil and a brush that they could give the bread a nice little coating before putting it on the grill.  If you don’t have a panini grill you could use a frying pan, an electric skillet or whatever you normally cook your grilled cheese sandwich in.

I think this may have been one of the easiest dinner parties I have ever done.  Once I had all the ingredients assembled I was finished.  The guests did the rest of the work and made their own dinner.

I got to enjoy the party just as much as they did!
Who doesn’t love a grilled cheese sandwich!

    Love the idea of a grilled cheese bar. Can I ask what other things you served with it? Some side ideas for instance? Thanks so much!

    Thank you for this fun idea. We had some couple come over for game night and a grilled cheese sandwich bar (thanks to you).

    Everyone loved it and loved sharing their own creations – mostly the men

    We used 2 waffle irons, 2 skillets, and a George Forman grill. It went beautifully.

    I think a Grilled Cheese Party would be a super fun idea for a rehearsal dinner.

    Thank you for this idea! We wanted to host a wine, cheese and chocolate gathering, but wanted to provide something a little heartier than just cheese tastings and this was a hit! We had many compliments!

    We also learned that we could make many at a time in the oven by pre-heating 2 baking sheets at 400 degrees and placing the buttered sandwiches between the hot pans. They turned out perfectly melted inside and toasted on the outside after apx. 8-10 minutes. Thanks for sharing!

    This is great! How many people did it serve, and how much of everything did you need? I am thinking of this idea for my whimsical wedding but have no clue where to start!

      We had 8 people at the party but there was plenty of leftovers. I would just figure out how many guests you have and decide how many sandwiches per person you want to plan on and go from there.
