It's a go-to meal for adults and children alike but it doesn't have to be just plain bread and cheese!

Steven showed us three ways to make grilled cheese, using delicious and nutritious Canadian cheese!

Did you know?:
50 g of cheese provides the same quantity of calcium as a cup of milk
If you're lactose intolerant, it doesn't mean you need to skip the cheese! Try Mozzarella and aged cheeses like Cheddar and Swiss that contain almost no lactose.
50 g of cheese contains as much protein as a 2 large eggs
50 g of cheese contains as much vitamin A as 125 ml (1/2 cup) of broccoli
According to the new Canada's Food Guide, 50 g of firm cheese (Cheddar, Mozzarella, Swiss, Feta) corresponds to one serving of the Milk and Alternatives food group.
Most cheeses such as Cheddar, Monterey Jack and Swiss represent an important ally against dental cavities.

Recipes:

Cheddar and Apple Sandwich
