If you follow us on Instagram, you know that we were in New York City earlier this month to celebrate National Grilled Cheese Month with Arla Dofino. I am always up for a trip to the Big Apple, but add in grilled cheese…best trip ever! We had so much fun!


Today, I am sharing a few highlights from our trip, which includes a recipe for a Pesto, Artichoke, and Havarti Grilled Cheese. I created this grilled cheese for the NYC event and it was a huge hit so I want to share it with all of you too! The only bummer is that I can’t give you samples like we did in NYC. Sorry! You will have to make it at home, but it is super easy and SUPER delicious!


Grilled Cheese Month Event in NYC on twopeasandtheirpod.com


So back to the event, we were in NYC to kick off National Grilled Cheese Month. We teamed up with Arla Dofino and Morris to bring #GooeyGoodness to New Yorkers! We visited Refinery 29, The Kitchn, BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post, and even had a fun sampling open to the public.


Grilled Cheese Month on twopeasandtheirpod.com


We served up three grilled cheese sandwiches. I created the Pesto, Artichoke, and Havarti Grilled Cheese that was served on Eureka’s Saaa-Wheat Organic bread. Morris dreamed up a Braised Beet and Balsamic Brown Butter Grilled Cheese with Havarti, Gouda, and a Sherry Maple Vinagrette. My food blogging bud, FoodieCrush, created a Sweet Bacon and Brown Sugar Grilled Cheese with Gouda and Candied Pecans.


Yes, there was a lot of Gooey Goodness going on! All of the sandwiches were very different, but all SO good. Arla Dofino Havarti and Gouda cheeses Havarti and Gouda cheeses are naturally good, crafted with quality ingredients, and free of added hormones, colors and preservatives. They are the perfect cheeses for grilled cheese sandwiches because they are super melty and have a mild, buttery flavor. You can pair them with anything and everything…and they will give you LOTS of Gooey Goodness!


When we showed up at the locations and told people we were serving grilled cheese sandwiches to celebrate National Grilled Cheese Month, they thought we were joking. It was April Fool’s Day on the first day, so they really did think it was a big joke, but we don’t joke about grilled cheese. We were ready to serve grilled cheese to the masses.


Everyone was thrilled! I think I even saw a few tears of joy:) Grilled cheese for everyone! Yay!


I love that everyone was sharing the #GooeyGoodness on social media! Arla Dofino Celebrates National Grilled Cheese Month in NYC on twopeasandtheirpod.com


I got the chance to work in the Morris Truck. It was so fun! I loved handing out grilled cheese and watching people’s reaction as the tasted the sandwiches. Smiles all around!


Ben, the grilled cheese master, at work! EAT! You better believe I did! I made sure I had my fair share of samples:) It was a fun and cheesy event! I was sad to leave NYC, but happy to come home to make my Pesto, Artichoke, and Havarti Grilled Cheese. The Gooey Goodness lives on! Pesto, Artichoke, and Havarti Grilled Cheese Recipe on twopeasandtheirpod.com LOVE this grilled cheese sandwich.


To make the grilled cheese, I use our favorite Spinach Basil Pesto recipe. It is simple to make and full of flavor. I spread the pesto on Eureka!’s whole grain bread. Next, comes the cheese! I love using Arla Dofino Creamy Havarti slices. So easy and soooooo cheesy! I add artichoke hearts to the mix because I love them and they compliment the pesto perfectly! This is a great spring grilled cheese!


Cook until buttery, crusty, and gooey! YUM!


Look at that CHEESE!

Pesto, Artichoke, and Havarti Grilled Cheese


Print Recipe


This grilled cheese sandwich is made with spinach basil pesto, artichoke hearts, and creamy Havarti cheese. It is always a hit!


Yield: 2 sandwiches


Prep Time: 10 minutes


Cook Time: 10 minutes


Total Time: 20 minutes


Ingredients:


2 tablespoons butter, softened


4 slices whole-grain bread (such as Eureka! Organic Bread)


4 tablespoons Spinach Basil Pesto


4 slices Arla Dofino® Creamy Havarti (or 4 ounces, grated)


2/3 cup sliced artichoke hearts (from jar or can, drained)


Sea salt, for sprinkling on sandwich


Directions:


1. Butter the outsides of the bread with butter. Spread the insides of the bread slices evenly with pesto. Put a slice of Havarti on the bottom piece of bread, add artichoke hearts, and top with another slice of Havarti. Place the other piece of bread on top, creating a sandwich.


2. Heat a large skillet or griddle pan over medium-low heat and place the sandwiches butter side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt and the bread is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich over and cook for an additional about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sea salt. Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.


Note-for gluten-free, use gluten-free bread.

Are you ready for another sugar loaded NYC post? I sure hope so, because this one is extra sweet.


I started my day at Bouchon Bakery with Amanda, Jenny, and Lori. We ordered a little bit of everything.


Several of you asked how we eat everything, well we don’t. We all take a taste and move on. Look at the damage we did to these tasty treats. I hate wasting food, but we were on a mission to visit as many bakeries as we could. We had to pace ourselves.

We all fell in love with Bouchon’s macarons. We tried the peanut butter and jelly and vanilla macaron. The vanilla was dreamy! I wish I would have ordered a dozen.

Next, we stopped at Magnolia Bakery. We ordered a few treats to go. We all enjoyed the red velvet cheesecake.


Levain Bakery was our next stop, where we met up with Susan from Doughmesstic. I have heard about their famous cookies for years, so I was super excited to try them. We ordered a chocolate chip walnut cookie and a peanut butter chocolate chip.

The cookies are humongous! The cookies are served warm and really are amazing. They really do live up to the hype. I personally don’t appreciate nuts in my cookies, so I would get rid of the walnuts, but overall, these cookies get two thumbs up. My favorite cookie in NYC.


We took a break from the sweets to have lunch with Maggy, from Three Many Cooks. We enjoyed NYC pizza at Patsy’s Pizza.


Fresh Mozzarella, Basil, and Tomatoes. So delicious!

For dessert we went to Momofuku. We tried the cereal milk ice cream, birthday cake truffles, crack pie, and compost cookie. Honestly, I didn’t care for anything. Too odd for me:)

After a little break in our hotel room, we headed out again to try Billy’s Bakery and Lulu’s.


Jenny let me sample the chocolate Twinkie she ordered from Lulu’s. It was fantastic! I need to try making them at home:)

We took a cab over to Two Little Red Hens, a super cute bakery. In my opinion, they have the BEST cupcakes in NYC. The marble and Brooklyn Blackout were out of this world! I usually am not a cupcake person, but I could eat these every day!

Our last stop, Serendipity. We had to go. We all split a frozen hot chocolate and I am glad we did because it is one mighty dessert. Loved it though!

Next stop, BED! I hope you enjoyed my sugar tour of NYC! I hope to go back some day, I had a fabulous time sampling sweet with my favorite blogging buds!
