Notes
The quality of the ingredients is very important to make a really good grilled cheese. I used Trader Joe's sourdough bread, pepper jack cheese, Bomba sauce and basil. You can get the Italian Bomba sauce from Trader's Joes. It does not contain any onion/garlic. Fresh basil is also important for this recipe.
