There is no time of year - or time of day - that a grilled cheese sandwich is not a welcome food. The simple combination of crisp, buttery, griddled bread and melted cheese is a universally adored food for people of all ages. But there is no reason that your grilled cheese can't change with the weather, incorporating new ingredients to give that favorite sandwich a touch of seasonal flair.

Sometimes it's Brie and pear; other times I'll go with a truffle cheddar. This fall I've found my latest obsession that completely takes my grilled cheese sandwiches to the next level: caramelized figs.
