A classic sandwich with standard two slices of bread, some good tomato, mayo, and a dash of salt takes an indulgent turn when the filling is topped up with some cheese. But, it becomes pretty much irresistible when the entire arrangement is tossed in the oven and the outcome has cheese melting down the base of the sandwich. All in all, it becomes the good old grilled cheese sandwich.

Americans yearn for the sandwich throughout their childhood and adult years and simply feel overjoyed to recall the euphoric feeling after eating them. The gooey, cheesy joy of a snack has, in fact, a day dedicated to honor its timeless popularity.

National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day falls on April 12 every year. Here are some quotes that will surely push you to make yourself a grilled cheese sandwich and open your mind to happiness. (Courtesy: Goodreads and Quoteunquote)

  • "I grab the nonstick skillet, put it on the stove, and fetch four slices of bread from the breadbox. I've been playing with a new bread recipe, a cross between sourdough and English muffin, baked in a sliceable loaf. Makes fantastic toast, and I've been craving grilled cheese with it since I brought it home yesterday. I literally butter all four slices all the way to each edge, place them butter-side down in the skillet, and top each with a thick slice of American cheese. That way, as the pan slowly heats up, the cheese starts to melt, and by the time the outsides are crunchy and crispy, the cheese is a goo-fest, and nothing gets burnt. And I always make two, because one grilled cheese sandwich is never enough,"- Stacey Ballis
  • "It was the best grilled cheese sandwich I'd ever had—golden brown with a buttery taste, and the cheese all melted and gooey and oozing out the edges."- Peg Kehret
  • "I’m into grilled cheese. Grilled cheese makes me feel beautiful!"- Emma Stone
  • "My father, the lone male in our estrogen-heavy household, had always dealt with any kind of emotional situation or conflict by doing something concrete and specific. … Coming home in tears for reasons you just didn’t want to discuss? He’d go make you a grilled cheese, which he’d probably end up eating," - Sarah Dessen
