Panera’s Grilled Mac and Cheese Sandwich

As I’m sure you’re aware, Panera has the best mac and cheese from a fast food restaurant. It’s the perfect dish to curl up into when you’ve had a bad day, and you don’t have to worry about spending time cooking or cleaning up after. Fortunately for all of us, the mac gods blessed us with Panera’s Grilled Mac and Cheese Sandwich.

From their website: “Creamy Mac & Cheese with our fontina and mozzarella cheese blend and parmesan crisps on toasted thick-sliced Classic White Miche.”

This thing is magic. I grabbed it on a whim during a hectic night of errands and even though it took me longer to get to try it than I would have liked, it was fantastic. The crunch from the parmesan crisps layered beautifully with toasty bread and creamy mac and cheese. I’d love to have it in the restaurant to see what it’s like fresh, because even after sitting for a bit it was something I can’t stop thinking about. My mind is already spinning with ideas on how to make my own. We already know how much I love crispy parmesan to enhance mac and cheese.

They truly took perfection and put a crown on it. It’s delightful in a way I didn’t expect and I can’t wait to try it again soon.
