A quick-and-easy cream cheese spread elevates your basic grilled cheese to something special. Shallots, mustard and pickles bring an additional flavor that dresses up your grilled cheese even more with their contrasting textures and flavors. The secret to a delicious grilled cheese sandwich is cooking it slowly. We kept the heat at medium to ensure that the bread toasts at the same level. You want to be sure that the cheese melts at the same rate that the bread is toasted. Serve this fabulous sandwich with fruit or a tossed salad.
