Turkish Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Submitted by Nif_H

"I have never had Turkish food (that I know of) and this sounds simple but really good. The original recipe stated that you can use crusty bread or "berber bread". I googled berber bread and came up with nothing! This recipe is from a Canadian cheese magazine. Enjoy!"

I am familiar with berber bread, but used a crusty & nutty whole grain bread for this sandwich & absolutely loved the combo of cheese & the Medjool dates that I used! Definitely a new twist on the ol' grilled cheese, & a delightful one, too! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Newest Zaar recipe tag]
