Grilled Cheese with Tomato | Lunchbox Idea
Summer vacation for the boys is over, and it’s the back-to-school time!
Yes, you know the drill. September is in full swing, and the hustle and bustle is now in full effect. And Wet Ones® is here to help.
I got a kid-loving Grilled Cheese with Tomato, Zucchini & Bacon Sandwich idea that will knock their socks off.
As parents, we know having an effective game plan goes a long way in helping things run smoothly and perfectly perfect.
And then there is coming up with delicious, fun, and nutritious lunches that the kids will enjoy five days a week.
For some families, school lunch isn’t always the best option for many reasons, i.e. food allergies, otherworldly taste buds, or just picky eaters.
Our boys prefer bringing lunch instead of dining on what their school offers.
Honestly, though, we kind of prefer it this way, too, because we get to pick and pack a lunch that’s choke-full of healthier options like fresh fruit, veggies, and whole grains.
The boys love our Grilled Cheese with Tomato, Zucchini, and Bacon. We call it the Cheesy TZB for short.
Ingredients for our Grilled Cheese with Tomato, Zucchini, and Bacon
- 2 slices of rustic honey white
- 1 heirloom tomato
- 3 -4 thinly sliced zucchini
- 3-4 slices of thick-cut bacon
- 1-2 individual cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons kale, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of softened butter
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
- Butter two slices of bread on both sides.
- One slice of bread, add 1 slice of cheese, thinly sliced zucchini, tomato, shredded kale, and bacon.
- Then add the additional slice of cheese and the remaining slice of buttered bread.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and brush with extra virgin olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the sandwich and brown on both sides. Remove to a clean cutting board and slice in half with a serrated bread knife.
- Allow the sandwich to cool and place it in a sandwich container or bag.
