It’s not how you make it.
It’s about what you serve it with (no, not tomato soup).
Buthis confessionthat he loves pairing grilled cheese with split pea soup gave me pause.

Stanley Tucci’s Grilled Cheese Pairing
Grilled cheeseand tomato soup are an ideal pairing for a reason.
Its simple and brilliant.
If thats the case, why pair a grilled cheese with anything else?
Thats why I said, huh?
The basic-ness is what works in its favor.
As he mentions in his interview, its not a complicated dish.
Making it from scratch allows you to customize it.
it’s possible for you to also play with adding herbs like thyme and rosemary.
I also love adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for a delicious finishing touch.
Remember to keep things simplethat’s part of the appeal of this pairing.
