From a pizza grilled cheese to one stuffed with brie and Nutella, we’ve rounded up 13 of the most unique and delicious grilled cheese recipes on the Internet.

Fried Chicken and Waffle Grilled Cheese

Recipe: Taste Spotting In this sweet-meets-savory mashup, freshly pressed waffles stand in place of bread, and crispy chicken is draped in melted cheddar cheese. A dusting of powdered sugar rounds out this decadent mashup of a grilled cheese with fried chicken and waffles.
Mac and Cheese Grilled Cheese

Recipe: BS in the Kitchen This sandwich is what hangover dreams are made of. Panko-dusted bread slices are grilled until golden, then stuffed with extra-gooey macaroni and cheese.
Mustardy Grilled Cheese

Recipe: The Crepes of Wrath Just because it's a grilled cheese doesn't mean it has to be devoid of greens. This version sandwiches peppery mustard greens, aged cheddar, and a swipe of mustard between buttery brioche slices.
Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, and Muenster Grilled Cheese

Recipe: Taste Spotting If there was ever a sandwich to represent Oktoberfest, this would be it. Muenster cheese is melted over bratwurst and kraut on an extra-doughy pretzel for a grilled cheese that's 100% German.
Pot Roast Grilled Cheese

Recipe: Simply Scratch Buttered bread and melted cheese can make pretty much anything taste good. But adding pork pot roast to a combo of white cheddar and caramelized onions in a sandwich elevates leftovers to a whole new level.
Kimchi Ramen Grilled Cheese

Recipe: Taste Spotting Why didn't anyone think of this in college while stoned? (Or better question: Why didn't we know the people who did?) This melting-pot sandwich gussies up instant ramen with chopped kimchi, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese.
Nacho Grilled Cheese

Recipe: She Knows English muffins have never looked this good. Each one is topped with a pile of tortilla chips and all the fixings, including black beans, pickled jalapeños, green onions, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and two types of cheese.
Fig Grilled Cheese

Recipe: 80 Breakfasts Grilled cheese doesn't always have to be reminiscent of elementary school. For a sophisticated twist, combine a trio of cheeses—ricotta, mozzarella, and brie—with a handful of dried figs, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkling of truffle salt.
Parmesan-Crusted Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese

Recipe: Rachel Cooks When you don't have time to make pizza dough, this sandwich will do the trick. Parmesan-crusted bread acts as a crust, while the classic pizza ingredients—pepperoni, mozzarella, and tomato sauce—are melted together in the center. Hell, go crazy and add pepperoni in there.
Brie and Nutella Grilled Cheese

Recipe: Serious Eats This dessert grilled cheese requires only four ingredients. While brie and Nutella are great on their own, together they make one flawless and incredibly decadent sandwich stuffing.
Quattro Formaggio Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Recipe: Taste Spotting As much as we love toppings, sometimes you just need to keep it simple. And by simple we mean a sandwich grilled to golden perfection and stuffed with ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, and gorgonzola.
Bee Sting Grilled Cheese

Recipe: Grilled Cheese Social Inspired by one of the famous pizzas at Roberta's in Brooklyn, this sandwich nods to Italy. Layers of mozzarella and sopressata are flecked with red-pepper butter, then drizzled with basil honey on a rustic country loaf. The result is subtly sweet and a little spicy.
Bacon, Apple, and Cheddar Grilled Cheese

Recipe: Spoon Fork Bacon "Everything is better with bacon" has become an overused cooking mantra, but this sandwich certainly benefits from a dose of rashers. The cheddar cheese-smothered creation gets a refreshing crunch from thinly sliced apple, while crisped bacon adds a salty kick.
