The French call this "Croque Madam," and it is delicious. The sodium can be cut down by using Ezekiel low sodium bread (0 sodium) and buying Trader Joes low sod. creamy tomato soup (1 c = 140 mg sodium, 90 calories). For someone on VERY limited salt/calories, this is a wonderful tasty option. TY! - 7/11/13

This was great! I'm making it AGAIN today. - 10/13/13

This is very good. Not really a grilled cheese with 1 ounce of cheese, but still a very good sandwich. - 4/22/12

Way too high in sodium, fat, calories and cholesterol to even try. And never found tomato soup for 25 calories - 9/20/11

This is definitely an improvement over the traditional grilled cheese sandwich. Very tasty, while still giving a grilled cheese flavor. I used an easy over egg, and sopped up the drippings with what was left of the bread. I will definitely make this for my wife this weekend. - 9/20/11

The pictures of the grilled cheese and the pizza sandwiches are identical. Which recipe does the picture really go with? - 8/4/15

Was decent. Added some grilled veggies in the mix instead of the egg. The mustard and basil really helped with the flavor - 6/18/15

I definitely want to try this! I'll skip the butter spread though (I never use it) and the mustard, as I'm not keen on sauces. Thanks for sharing! - 12/3/14

How about instead of a fried egg a 3 or 6 Tbsp egg white omelette? Instead or regular cheese, veggie cheese (like the Go Veggie products)?
I bet we can lower the sodium and carbs and it will taste great as well! How much would be the total calorie and Fat & sodium count??
No butter for me Please! - 5/5/14

Who needs a fried egg with grilled cheese? More cholesterol and calories! - 10/7/13
