Farmer's Market Grilled Cheese

If you know me personally, you know I am a HUGE fan of our local Farmer's Market at the PSU campus in Portland, OR. Not only is such a fun and relaxing atmosphere, but there is an incredible selection of fresh foods and I'm such a big foodie right now! I jumped at the chance of making this dish because it feeds into my desire to always go to the Farmer's Market! You will not be disappointed!!
