Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Hero Bread is a Better-For-You Bread Option. Available in Heinen’s Deli Department in classic white bread, hamburger buns and hot dog buns, Hero Bread offers delicious bread with real benefits including 0 grams of sugar, 0-2 net carbs and more protein and fiber than traditional bread. Completely plant-powered, the taste, texture and smell are just like flour-based breads.
- It’s Cheesy in a Good Way. Heinen’s A2 organic extra sharp raw cheddar cheese is made from 100% USDA Organic, A2 Heritage milk from grass-fed, pasture-raised Guernsey cows. It is also an extension of Heinen’s line of hand-selected cheeses, which means it was hand-vetted and tested by Heinen’s cheese experts.
- It’s Easy to Make and Pairs Well with Soup. Ready in less than 30 minutes, this open face melt is the perfect winter weeknight meal, especially when paired with the tomato basil bisque from Heinen’s Daily Bites.
