Perogie Grilled Cheese | Culinary Cool

So apparently today is National Grilled Cheese Day, so I figured I would whip something up for the occasion   I’ve had this idea for awhile, but haven’t executed it until now. I wish I hadn’t waited so long.  This little sandwich is truly a masterpiece as far as grilled cheese goes.  It’s nothing too fancy, but encompasses a few of my absolutely favorite foods; perogies, cheese and bacon!   Being of Ukrainian heritage, naturally I love, love, love perogies.  People here in Saskatchewan love their perogies, too.  Maybe more than most other places.  They are everywhere!  Local restaurants serve them, every wedding buffet offers them and most people stock pile them in their freezer.  That being said, I couldn’t think of a better grilled cheese to make!
