Cheese is a staple addition in almost every form of sandwich but the grilled cheese sandwich has a separate fan base. While the sight of the freshly baked sandwich induces appetite, the quick bite keeps you full until the next mealtime, all because of calorie-dense cheese being stuffed in generous proportions.

Food historians believe that it took centuries for the delicious snack to become an American favorite after having originated in 1920 and going through a number of modifications.

Even though there is no specific explanation for why grilled cheese sandwiches are so popular, it can possibly be due to the fact that it is liked by people from all age groups, ranging from children to older adults, and that it is easily available whenever the hunger pangs strike.

Food enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that there is a special day to celebrate the tasty breakfast quick bite. April 12 is fondly marked as National Grilled Cheese Day.
