There are recipes for this?

Butter two slices of wife's gluten-free bread, put slice of cheddar and a slice of provolone inside and grill until browned (but not dark brown/burnt). Even better with a slice of ham with the cheese.

Once and a while I'll use provolone put a thin slice of apple in there, or some pickle. But generally I just use American and heat it on a pretty low temp and eat with tomato soup.

When I was a kid we called it toasted cheese, but when I said that to my coworkers in KC they said they never heard of that.

there are other ways? **** that.

I cook some bacon or Ham, butter one side of each slice of bread, throw some more butter down on the skillet, throw two slices of cheese and the meat of choice between the bread and grill.

And you can never have too much butter....or cheese.

My Top 10 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
from Closet Cooking by Kevin
2 people liked this


Today is grilled cheese sandwich day and I thought that I would take the opportunity commemorate the day by rounding up some of my favorites grilled cheese sandwich recipes. I was not at all surprised to find that I had well over ten grilled cheese sandwich recipes and that I would be able to do this roundup. I certainly have been enjoying experimenting with grilled cheese sandwiches!

Some might think that the grilled cheese sandwich is a little boring but I have been discovering that they can be quite exciting. The basic grilled cheese sandwich consists of bread, butter and cheese and it is grilled until it is golden brown and the cheese has melted. After starting with the basic recipe, feel free to experiment by changing the cheese or the bread and adding other things to the sandwich whether they are savoury or sweet. Here are a few of my favorite grilled cheese sandwich experiments.


Caramelized Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich - This has to be my favorite take on a grilled cheese sandwich so far! Apples and cheddar are a great flavour combo and this grilled cheese sandwich is a perfect example with the sweet and savoury coming together to form something greater than the sum of its parts.




Kimchi Grilled Cheese Sandwich - The sweet and savoury combo appears several times in this roundup but lets not forget spicy! Kimchi packs a ton of flavour and it works really well with melted cheese! (This sandwich is the perfect hangover food.)




Lobster Grilled Cheese Sandwich - When you think about a grilled cheese sandwich you think of quick, simple and cheap but there is nothing stopping you from indulging every once in a while and this lobster grilled cheese certainly is decadent.




Onion Chutney Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Sweet and spicy chutneys are made to be wrapped in buttery grilled bread and smothered in melted cheese and this onion chutney grilled cheese is a perfect example.




Mushroom and Prosciutto Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Mushrooms are one of my favorite foods and I could not resist using them in grilled cheese form! You really can't go wrong with sauteed and caramelized mushrooms wrapped in warm, melted ooey gooey cheese!




Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Mango and Cardamom Jam - When I first heard about using jam in a grilled cheese I was a bit surprised as I had never thought about it but it turns out to be quite good! I like to test out my new homemade jams in grilled cheese sandwiches.




Grilled Deviled Ham - Deviled ham is a new discovery, essentially a spicy ham salad, and it works really well when grilled up with melted cheese!




Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Green Tomato and Jalapeno Jam - This was another experiment with using jams in grilled cheese sandwiches and the spicy jalapeno green tomato jam made for a perfect combination of sweet, savoury and spicy in this grilled cheese sandwich!




Grilled Roast Beef and Cheese Sandwich - Roast beef sandwiches are another of my favorites that are even better in grilled cheese form! The next time you have some roast beef leftovers, earmark some of them for a grilled roast beef sandwich with plenty of onions and peppers.




Grilled Turkey and Brie Sandwich with Cranberry Chutney - This turkey grilled cheese sandwich with cranberry chutney is another great way to use up some leftovers, turkey leftovers in this case, and the cranberry chutney and turkey combo makes you think of the holidays when eating it.

I'll tell you what, I love me a good grilled cheese. Here is what I do when I feel like making a fantastic one.

Bread: White is probably the most common, but Sourdough or artisan bread is better IMO.
cheeses: you can go with just about any cheese you like that melts well. I like to spread the bread with cream cheese first on both sides (YUM!), then slices of cheddar, provolone and swiss. I like a nice 4 cheese all melting goodness into each other.

butter the bread on the outside and grill until it's melted!

For me, tomato soup with plenty of Sriracha mixed in with some basil and black pepper is the perfect addition to your grilled cheese sammich.

This, this this. I always add Sriracha to my bowls of tomato soup now. Even better with a grilled cheese... also keeps my little kids from eating my soup... though it's funny as hell when they want a bite and won't take, "no, it's spicy" for an answer.

I was raised on Campbell's soups, so Campbell's Tomato Soup is tomato soup to me (comfort food type of thing). One of my favorite lunches used to be grilled cheese, a bowl of tomato soup (with a crap ton of saltines, of course) and big glass of milk.

Since Campbell's insists on putting wheat in their soups, I can't eat that any more and haven't been able to find a decent replacement. All of the other ones that I have tried have tasted like Spaghetti-O's. :Lin:

I actually make a killer grilled cheese sandwich. Typically I put some sort of meat on it, but that's not necessary.

I use all sorts of bread and cheeses. Pick some you like.

So I usually take some white bread, put a little pepper jack and swiss in it. The magic happens on what I do on the out side. I butter it like everyone else, but I press some grated parmesan on both sides. As the cheese melts on the inside, I also get a tasty cheese crust on the outside. Yum! I call it my Grilled Double Cheese.

Mine is pretty simple. I cut thin slices of sweet vidalia onion and soften them in a pan with some oilive oil, seasoned with sea salt, peppper, and some minced garlic. While they are softening, I get the bottom bread buttered and started in the pan with a slice of american cheese. Once the onion slices are soft but with a slight crunch to them I move a slice to each sandwich on top of the cheese. Then I cover it with the top piece of bread (buttered) and toast each side to a medium brown in the skillet. Yum!!! If you like onions that is. The only downfall is that it gives me the smelly toots- as my 3 yr old would say... :D

Where does it stop being a grilled cheese or something else? Who the flock cares.

A basic cheddar on white is fine, with olives on the side.

Adding a thick slice of home grown tomato is better.

Adding bacon or Canadian bacon is better yet. On rye or sourdough is again, better.

Once you get to adding pickles... it's a panini.

Cuban sandwich: Roast pork, sliced pickles, cheese and tomato on almost any kind of bread as long as it gets crushed to a thickness of an inch is awesome. The pickles when heated take on a very different flavor.

If it uses steak or any kind of beef, it a version of a Philly cheese steak. The father of Philly cheese steaks was the patty melt. Burger, grilled onions, cheese and fried like a grilled cheese sammich.

Bread, cheese and butter... grill it, and no matter what else you do, it's freakin delish.

The synopsis: brush the butter in mayo instead of butter.

Yeah, I know it. I'll try it because I'll try just about anything, but it sounds disgusting.

Bread
Butter
Cheese
Bacon.

That is all that is needed.

Not sure if this one was on here or not, but it just came up in my feed reader. I had to share. The synopsis: brush the butter in mayo instead of butter.

Try adding a slice of ripe tomato. It's like a variation of a BLT.

I should have said that I add dill pickles (before cooking) to a standard grilled cheese sandwich. They add a little zip.

my kids used to love sliced pickles on their grilled cheese. they call it a galaxy grilled cheese

when I asked why my youngest stated, "because it tastes like its out of this world."

Butter two slices of bread on one side each.

Put cheese between slices of bread.

Take the cheese off, and throw away. Replace cheese with peanut butter.

Pan fry on each side until gold brown, and peanut butter has turned to molten lava.

Eat.

Sounds good except I would just eat the cheese. Why waste it?

Add thinly sliced Walla Walla sweet onion and then you're talking.

That's because you haven't had the right kind.

Butter the outsides of the bread and roll it in crushed up potato chips. Unbelievable.
