About Grilled cheese sandwich, cheddar cheese, on white bread

Few things are as comforting as a grilled cheese: two slices of white bread buttered on the outside, filled with cheddar, and pressed in a hot pan until the crust is golden and the center molten. It is childhood on a plate and a reliable companion to a bowl of tomato soup.

Comfort comes at a calorie cost. Between the butter used to crisp the bread and the fat in the cheese, this sandwich sits around 370 calories per 100 grams, with a fair amount of saturated fat and sodium. On the plus side, the cheddar delivers a genuine dose of protein and calcium.

Made with wholegrain bread, a thinner layer of cheese and a lighter hand with the butter, it lands a little easier; a side of soup or salad rounds it into a proper meal rather than just a rich snack.
