Did you know that April 12th is National Grilled Cheese Day? In my opinion, the not-so-humble grilled cheese needs an entire MONTH where we celebrate it. From last-minute dinners to the only thing my daughter would eat when she was 4, the grilled cheese sandwich is a household staple for my family.
I’ve happily partnered with Dempster’s again to bring you some new recipes featuring their products, and this time it’s all about having a #Breadventure. Stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new, being a little more adventurous than usual.
What better way to try something new than changing up your normal grilled cheese?
While this is not the craziest grilled cheese out there, adding red peppers and herb feta cheese is probably going to make your kids do a double take. This is definitely going to challenge their taste buds and expand their taste horizons.
Those two cute little twerps above can be adventuresome with their eating but tend to stick to the safe side of food. Perhaps I should say three, as my husband hadn’t even tried curry until he was 30 years old! Root Beer, being a dog, will eat anything, so he doesn’t count and we all know that I’m always up for a culinary adventure!
These red pepper grilled cheeses are perfect to make while you are out camping, which is what we are doing in the photo above. You can make them on the campfire easily and the ingredients are ones that are simple enough to take with you. Jazz up your campfire menu, all it takes is some different cheese and some red pepper!
Outdoor adventures and new food adventures as a family, what could be better?
I chose to make the red pepper and grilled cheese sandwich on Dempster’s white bread. There is something so nostalgic about a good, crispy white bread grilled cheese, it just takes me back to my childhood.
The herb feta is simply spectacular in this, and of course, you must have Mozza cheese as well, you need something to hold it together.
Take a gander at that sandwich.
That ooey, gooey deliciousness right there is why you need the mozza cheese as well as the feta cheese. This is the grilled cheese of your childhood, amped up for your adult tastes.
Now the really exciting part of all this is that there is going to be a giveaway with all of my partner posts with Dempsters over the next while! Enter below to win a gift card so that you can purchase the ingredients to make this delicious sandwich and more!
There is also a digital coupon that you can all head here to receive and try out this recipe yourselves!

We’ll try anything for once, except hot peppers my kids don’t love those. But I would pick, rye bread, buttered with cheddar, mozzarella and sauerkraut.

I just bought a panini press so I think my #breadventure is about to begin !!!

I am not adventuresome at all. I like my plain grill cheese, I might try to add bacon.. My kids on the other hand will try anything and my son wants to try a chili grill cheese! #Breadventure

My family is pretty adventuresome. We love adding things like bacon, tomato & avocado to our grilled cheese.

We are not that adventuresome. We usually just eat plan grilled cheese.

My husband loves to make different dishes now and then so we’ve become quite adventurous eaters. I think our family’s #breadventure would be a jalapeno popper grilled cheese.
Dianne says
Our #breadventure would be grilled vegetables and cheese on Dempster’s 12 Grain Bread. My family is pretty adventurous in food.

Jane Reid Gray says
Our #BreadAdventure would be everything and anything ! I love to get Bread creative with Bread Puddings either with English style Custard and lots of Vanilla or Soaked in Fruit. Of course Grilled Cheese with lots of Mustard is always a winner here.
Rana Jeree says
i would say a hot sub is our #breadventure and we are kinda of dadventerous .
Jenn E says
I’d say my family is somewhat adventurous. I think our breadventure would be a pepperoni inspired grilled cheese because it’s different but is a variation of something they already love.
billiondollarprincesss says
We are pretty adventurous. Our faves are clubhouse sandwiches.
arress says
My family are not adventurous when it comes to bread and or sandwiches.
Andrea says
I’m very adventurous to trying new foods but I know my kids aren’t!
Stephanie says
We are not very adventurous when it comes to trying food lol
Travelbuds says
Sometimes my 2 kids are adventurous when it comes to food and sometimes they aren’t. My son loves grilled cheese sandwiches so I think I could make any kind and he would like it. My daughter isn’t a fan of grilled cheese sandwiches so I couldn’t get her to eat any kind. The one posted above looks amazing and I would certainly try that one.
Jonnie says
We are not really adventurous eaters, accept when it comes to cheese. We make grilled cheese with a wide variety of cheese but I always come back to a nice sharp cheddar with bacon as my favorite.
Heather Bader Kopp says
I will definitely try this.
