Ingredients needed to make Grilled Cheese with Pulled Pork

Bread: For this recipe, I used 2 slices of the Classic White Miche Bread from Panera Bread. If you don’t have a Panera near you, you can use any thick-cut bread like Texas toast.

Butter: An essential ingredient to achieve the perfect bite, crisp, and flavor; 2 tbsp Butter.

Cheese: What’s grilled cheese without cheese? To make this incredible … and large… sandwich, you will need, 2 oz Shredded Gouda Cheese and 2 oz Havarti.

Meat: Stack it high! Put 8 oz of leftover pulled pork to use.

Toppings: Sauce it up with BBQ Sauce and top it off with¼ cup of my classic coleslaw.

Helpful Kitchen Tools

If you are new to air frying or have yet to buy an air fryer, tis’ the season to buy yourself a gift that you will be thankful for, for years to come. It is also one of those gifts that will keep on giving … you amazing food.

When you use an Air Fryer Oven for making grilled cheese, it lets you toast the bread perfectly on one side and melt the cheese on the other.

Long gone are the days of a splattery mess on the stove to make grilled cheese.

Bonus: When you use an air fryer to make grilled cheese, you get the perfect crisp every time!

What Toppings go on Pulled Pork Sandwiches?

One thing I love about a great sandwich is the diversity of toppings to always make it something special.

If you are looking to change it up or make each sandwich special for the person or people eating it consider some of these other great toppings:

  • Grilled Mushrooms
  • Sauteed Mushrooms
  • Pickles
  • Roasted or Grilled Bell Peppers
  • Caramelized Onions
  • Crispy Onion Strings
  • Pickled Onions
  • Bacon
  • Bananna Peppers

What Kind of Cheese goes Best with Pork?

When making grilled cheese, I look for a cheese that melts perfectly into the bread. However, there are many other kinds of cheese that pair well with pork like blue cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, gruyère, and goat cheese.

What is the Best thing to Dip Grilled Cheese in?

With Fall here and Winter around the corner, you might want to dip your grilled cheese in something warm and delicious.

Dip your toasty sandwich into soup like tomato, lentil, vegetable, or other creamy soups!
