Grilled Cheese Sammich

[AwakenEvil]

So I'm thinking about making a grilled cheese sammich and wondered how long I should cook it, what bread to use, and of course cheese selection comes into play, and what else to add to it such as bacon or pickles... any ideas

I thought that all daddies were born with with innate knowledge on how to make a grilled cheese?

Anyone can make a grilled cheese but what we want here is the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich

Cooking time will depend on the temperature and type of cookware you use.

I like a nice Rye or Marble rye, with cheddar cheese and either some bacon or smoked ham. Grilled to a crispy golden brown.

Ive only used basic white or texas toast bread... i should try a different bread for sure

[feralfreak]

i just plain white bread and borden brand american cheese, and spreadable butter applied directly to the bread, i get the pan hot, about medium heat i think, and when its preheated i put the first slice of bread butter side down and then add the cheese(one slice, but you can do 2 if you want) and then add the other slice, start the clock for 1 minute, and check, if its nice and golden i flip, one more minute and then i like to add some tomato soup to go with it and make a meal of it

[DailyDi]

...with tomato soup = best meal ever!

Best grilled cheese is made with two slices of cheddar, a slice of pepper jack or Provolone, and ham (grilled before putting on the bread) to break up the cheese. Dakota 12 grain is the best bread for it. Temper your pan with butter before, then butter both sides of the sandwich. Cook about a minute after the butter stops sizzling. Pair with tomato soup. Trust me, I'm from Wisconsin. Cheese and Packers are our specialty.

How you cook it is completely dependent on the ingredients you use. If you use a low melting point cheese, you will need a softer, thin sliced bread to go with it.

The best is also the simplest. Two slices of bread (what ever kind you prefer the most). Lightly or moderately buttered on the outside, and a generous amount of cheese on the inside. Cook on a skillet or large sauce pan until golden brown, flip it over and get the other side golden brown. Optional to let the grilled cheese cool long enough for the cheese inside to slightly harden (about 10 minutes), and enjoy.

Brian, why would you want your nice hot and

Sourdough. Provolone and cheddar, with pre-grilled onions and mushrooms between the cheese slices.

If you put the leftover part in the fridge it becomes a chilled grease sandwich

my family's formula for a dynamite grilled cheese:

- classic white bread

- mayo or softened butter

- american cheese

- velveeta cheese

Can't go wrong with Smoked Gruyere

Sometimes after taco night we will grate some cheddar and mix in some taco beef and use that for grillies, and bagels are good too but should be toasted a bit first cause they don't fry well!

[Baby Brian]

Brian, why would you want your nice hot and melty grilled cheese to get cold and hard?

Not cold and hard- yuck. Only slightly cooler enough to really bite into it without burning your mouth or dripping cheese allover the place.

I thought that was half the fun of a grilled cheese?

What, burning your mouth or not getting cheese into it?? Not fun in my book.

I like that idea! I saw a spaghetti grilled cheese on garlic bread while checking FB. I'm thinking I might try something similar.

My favorite grilled cheese is: some thick-sliced Italian bred, sharp cheddar cheese- maybe some muenster or brick, fried ham, sauteed onion, and a nice, crunchy Claussen pickle.
