Sweet & Salty Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Geniale Genie's Note:

This is my favourite way to eat this classic comfort food and express meal. I know everyone has their own way of making it, but I'm posting this recipe because most people probably haven't thought about adding dates. Quantities will vary depending on the size of your bread and your personal taste. Enjoy!

This was very unusual and really good! Next time I will cut the dates up a little more so they spread out more and are easier to eat. I definitely would have never thought to put dates in a grilled cheese but it was great! Thanks for the excellent idea!
