CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - It might be a little cheesy, but grilled cheese sandwich lovers should rejoice: today is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day.
If you haven't made dinner plans yet - make this simple treat to celebrate the day!
Although it only requires three ingredients (bread, cheese, and butter), grilled cheese is one of the most popular comfort foods in the world.
The cheesy treat isn't a "sort of new" thing though. According to PunchBowl.com, the sandwich we know and love is actually the product of ancient times.
"The Ancient Romans were the first civilization to make a cooked bread and cheese sandwich," reports Punch Bowl and says, "The classic American grilled cheese sandwich emerged in the 1920s when inexpensive cheese and affordable sliced bread became available."
So sit back and enjoy your grilled cheese sandwich!
