Sometimes, simplicity is perfection, and our Classic Grilled Cheese is proof. This sandwich is the ultimate comfort food for guests of all ages. We use thick slices of our Classic White Miche bread, which is griddled to a perfect golden-brown crisp. Inside, we melt multiple layers of American cheese until it is gooey and stretching.
It’s the perfect companion to a bowl of our Cream of Tomato soup, creating the iconic Panera experience that feels just like home.
