Happy to give a rave review to this ultra-delicious grilled sandwich. I used smoked gouda cheese. I highly recommend using fresh thyme over dried. The flavor was sublte and delicate. I think dried thyme would be too strong. Perfect on a cool fall evening. Thanks Boomette.

Oooh, these are good! I loved the thyme. I did use mustard, but I would recommend just using a little so the other flavors aren't overpowered. A little more work than ordinary grilled cheese, but well worth it! Thanks for posting!

This is so good. I used gouda and regular white bread. I loved the thyme and mustard. It made for a great lunch. Thank you for sharing!
