6. Top with the remaining cheese slices and cover with the other bread slices, buttered side up.
7. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom bread slice is golden brown.

In Sweden, cheese is often paired with fruit and crackers instead of bread, creating a popular appetiser or dessert known as “ostbricka.” As you enjoy your Smorgasbord meatball grilled cheese sandwich, why not try incorporating this Swedish tradition into your meal? Serve your sandwich with a side of fresh fruit and crackers for a true fusion of flavours.
