Grilled cheese is great, but who wants to stand at the stove and make one or two at a time? That’s where Weber® Herb Garden Sheet Pan Grilled Cheese comes in! This grilled cheese recipe is baked in the oven, so you can still experience the crispy bread/gooey cheese combo you love. Plus, Weber® Herb Garden Seasoning mixed with a little butter makes a perfect spread that adds even more flavor!

- Colby
- Swiss
- Brie
- Pepper Jack
- Gouda
- Havarti
- Provolone
- Parmesan

Now that we’ve covered the toppings, breads, and cheeses, we can’t forget to mention how truly easy this recipe is! Using a sheet pan to make multiple sandwiches really cuts down on time and effort..and eliminates the chance that someone in your family will be eating a cold grilled cheese sandwich!
