Blueberry Cobbler Cheddar French Toast

Last week, we shared a savory recipe for a unique grilled cheese sandwich: Habanero Jack Grilled Cheese with Pears & Prosciutto has become a sensation overnight! The combination of crisp pears and silky prosciutto paired so well with the spicy cheese that a few readers have emailed me telling me how they are loving this creation. Today, thanks to Great Midwest once again, we’re sharing a sweet grilled cheese recipe using their Blueberry Cobbler Cheddar and have a HUGE giveaway for one cheese lover! 

When we think of grilled cheese sandwiches, we tend to always think about the savory versions; the salty, melty sandwiches that we can dip in our tomato soup. But how about the sweet ones? The inspiration for this take on a grilled cheese/French Toast was the Great Midwest Blueberry Cobbler Cheddar cheese, packed with sweet blueberries surrounded by the salty cheddar cheese, it was the perfect accent to this recipe.
