-- Let's try to discuss variations of the Grilled Cheese Sandwich.

[Simply Red]

Hey Guys.

Let's see here - There are many roads we can take with this fine creation.

Wonder White+Margarine+Velveeta ???

French Bread+Brie - with fine Cubes of green apples and banana... ?

Texas-Toast with Cheddar???

How about something beyond crazy like colby and raisin bread/toast?? Ever do that one up? I bet not... (Colby cheese isn't that respected on CP - never really has been.) Always pissed me off. Very underrated.

Ok - how about Monterrey Jack and Wheat?



Do you incorporate bacon? How about ham? (Ham is like Colby and never got it's respect here)

Do you slice in half? - Diagonal -or- Horizontal?

Pickles?? standard (hamburger style?) spears? sweet? pepperoncinis?

Green Olives? Black?

Frill-Pick or no here?

I'll be honest the good old Wonder Bread White + Velveeta is probably my favorite - In some ways my tastes disgust even me.

I'd love to vote for the brie, but nah....

no voting here - no poll.

I am anxious to hear all about this from you all.

Sourdough bread.

[Simply Red]

I also like the idea of a stout swiss on a sourdough slice w/ something else - that I can't think of right now.

[Simply Red]

Sourdough bread.

Yes.

[MOhillbilly]

Man the toaster and a microwave is a huge time saver.

Three minutes and they are just as good as grilled.

BOOM!

[Bugeater]

They make great hamburger buns.

[CanadianChief]

I like mine on rye with a slice of cheese and crispy bacon.

[Simply Red]

Is that technically a melt?

yes - also a melt - let's go there - I'm feeling like anything tonight - anyone ever had Fontina 'melted?' - good grief + white grapes - oh now that's something to try - I also recommend Fontina on a burger with a sweet vidalia carmelized onion.

[Simply Red]

You really need to dig for Fontina though - it's not just EVERYwhere - like most EVERY cheese type.

[CanadianChief]

Had this once. It's called the max cheese. A burger with a fried egg on top sandwiched in between two grilled cheeses.

Not too bad.

[Mojo Jojo]

So many combos...
Brie on cinnamon/raisin bread
muenster on pumpernickel
motz & pepperoni on sourdough
are a start

I would plow that as well. Tonight for supper I had a grilled chicken salad with a nice 'tart' Apple Cider vinaigrette, It had strawberries and blueberries on it.

I would much rather talk about grilled cheeseburger cheese's.

[GloucesterChief]

Can't have it anymore but it was good.

[Hoover]

Sourdough bread and I butter the outsides and then press on parmesan cheese then grill. So I basically end up with a cheese crested grilled cheese sandwich, which kicks ass.

[Simply Red]

I absolutely guarantee you at LEAST 15% of Cp'ers still use some sort of George Foreman grill or the sorts.

[prhom]

French bread with Parmesan grilled on the outside, tomato and cheddar or Swiss on the inside.

[hometeam]

We occasionally bust it out in the winter when it's too cold to grill out. It's the second best way to cook a burger IMO.

[DaFace]

My wife got a grilled MAC and cheese at a place in Jackson Hole last year. It was tasty, though undoubtedly artery-clogging.

[BucEyedPea]

It's not really a grilled cheese unless it's on sliced bread per a cooking site.

I'm boring on grilled cheese. Don't eat it often but when I do, I like white sharp or medium sharp cheddar, Gruyère, Danish Harvarti or Muenster.

I generally prefer mine basic or vegetarian. My first choice for any addition is always tomato and I like that with fresh basil if I add a tomato. Except Gruyère where I could go for some fresh tarragon. I've had it with thinly sliced ham with tomato too. But have to be in the mood for meat. Gloucestor's sounds good. I've heard of arugula and tomato on Gruyère. That sounds good. But plain or just a tomato added is all okay with me.

Bread, well I'm allergic to most so it has to me my golden millet flax bread as it grills up nicely.

Gotta have the classic white bread slathered in butter with 2 slices of real american cheese. Not the cheese food crap. Grilled in butter till golden brown. Served with a dill spear on side. Dill hamburger chip will do in a pinch.

Sonic actually makes a pretty good one to my liking. Well as long as the grill master is into it. Ive had some come out butter and cheese barely melted. I just grin a bare it. could complain an get the old grilled spit and cheese.

I know im gonna try the GC bun hamburger! That is right down my alley.

Grilled Filet + Carmelized Onions + Fontina Cheese, bacon.

[Simply Red]

I have a fond memory of stopping at the IGA (Stover, Missouri) en route to the lake cabin - and going to the deli - they'd slice that big tubular longhorn colby and grandma would go REAL thin, it made great sandwiches. you'll notice almost everything tastes better 'slivered thin'

[TimBone]

right here bud - please rock that shit right fucking here, champ.

When I was stationed in Troy, Alabama in 2006, my boss handed me a sandwich she had ordered from a little sandwich shop next to the college. She ordered it for herself, but got called to a last minute meeting, and gave it to me to enjoy.

Pretty simple sandwich. Roast beef, pepper jack cheese, Jalepeno, and mustard on large pieces of fresh, white bread. I'm talking so fresh that when you bite into that bread, it sticks to the roof of your mouth. It was wonderful. I've tried recreating that sandwich a million times since I left Troy. I've never been able to make it quite as good though. What a wonderful sandwich.

[Tacoman]

I love a good grilled cheese sando, great thread!

I like a few different types

With really gooey white cheeses like a stringy Swiss or creamy Havarti I like to caramalize red onions with balsamic vinegar and red wine and toss them on a nice sourdough or French slab.

I really like the sharpest I can get ahold of in the cheddar department, tillamook extra sharp is our mainstay in the house but I try to snag better when I see them. I don't like any extras on my cheddar grilled cheese, dark rye or a sturdy grade wheat bread and more cheddar and I'm set.

Goat cheese grilled cheese, super creamy, it is also a favorite. You can go as far as adding tomato, basil, and bacon for a summer type spin on it, but I usually end up with any one of the three extras depending on the day.

I'm not a huge fan of Colby Jack, as far as Colby goes it's not that I don't like it, it's just a bit uninspiring to me. It kind of seems like it's almost flavorless in a way. When I think of yummy white and orange cheese I think of Muenster.

[Tacoman]

The fiancé makes a mean grilled cheese. In fact, she made a couple for dinner tonight. 3 slices of cheddar, 3 slices of Swiss, on Tuscan pane and with cooked with enough butter to choke a horse. This is why I've gained more weight during her pregnancy than she has.

[Moon§hiner]

Try using mayo instead of butter sometime...I'll never go back to butter

[Pepe Silvia]

Salami and hot pepper cheese grilled on Rye. Boom.

Hell Yes.

[listopencil]

Sharp cheddar and mozzarella, with jalapenos, on rye. Build from there with whatever you fancy. Bacon, ham, sauteed veggies, shrooms, etc. Sauerkraut is a good one that people tend to forget about. A horseradish based dip is nice on the side.

Thanks, yeah - damn it's loud in there.

[scho63]

Several variations I like:

-Fontina Cheese on thin sliced sourdough w dijon mustard

-American cheese on white with a tomato and bacon

-Multiple shredded cheeses like Asiago and Gouda with a slice of prosciutto on french

I like a ratio of 2:1 cheese to bread. Nothing worse than a grilled cheese with think slices of bread and little to no cheese.

It also must be VERY crispy with a nice flavor of butter on the outside.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I don't much care for grilled cheese. But I do have some tips to make a better grilled cheese, and one variation that's amazing.

So first, the tip.

To really toast the bread, try not buttering the bread. Instead, put a tablespoon of butter in the pan and wait for it to melt and the foaming to subside. Then put the sandwich in the pan to toast. You may need to add a bit of butter when you flip. This will get it so crispy and toasty, it's insane.

Now the variation: Prep exactly like you would for a grilled cheese. But instead of cheese, slather on a good amount of peanut butter. Just like the cheese, the PB will get all gooey, but be warned: Piping hot peanut butter is a lethal combination of lava and napalm.

[ptlyon]

That said, I've always seen the Rotel infused dip be the first one off of the board at a Holiday spread or the sorts. So spare me, bud.

Velveeta is here to stay and people are going to have to manage that, somehow.

[Simply Red]

Listen guys - I have to get to work now, but if anyone would like to debate Velveeta cheese' importance in America. We can meet in the CP chat-room tonight for rapid-fire, HEATED exchanges regarding this topic.

I've tried burying the grilled cheese in cheese, and I've tried using the cheese sparingly and for me, using it sparingly works better. I like a grilled cheese to be more like an appetizer than an entree.

I learned this for BLTs as well. I used to stuff my BLTs with thick tomatoes, a pile of bacon and layers of lettuce. I found for me that it works much better with thin sliced tomatoes, one layer of bacon, and a sprinkling of lettuce.

These are huge variations and make these sandwiches radically different.

Who is so lazy they cant fold a bowl,of softened butter in with sugar and cinnamon for this? I have actualy seen Land o Lakes cinnamon spread in the store. Seriously, who needs this pre made for them.

I toast one side of the bread under the broiler, then spread the goo on the untoasted side. I am making this tonight for desert.

The only thing is, if you slather on a lot and right out of the broiler some drips on your skin, it might as well be Napalm. You could torture terrorists with this stuff.

There are variations of cheese in any grilled cheese I make, but I prefer whole wheat bread lathered in butter and fried in a pan. My one caveat is that there must be dill pickle chips on the sandwich. It's a crunchy, vinegary compliment to all the fat and carbs.

I want his spray bottle.

[srvy]

Ok so for lunch I grilled a couple of GC's one with my fav real American cheese ( not processed cheese food). The other was with Velveeta that many in here have told me is way better.

The bread was basic white and used margarine as was out real butter. so used buttery cooking spray cast iron skillet and buttered all sides the bread. cut off slices or Velveeta and put on one sandwich. And used 1 and half slices the American like a normally do. Cooked to golden brown.

Served my son a half the Velveeta and half the American. Same for me. Hands down for me it was American it tastes like cheese. The Velveeta for me tastes like melted creamy cottage cheese with tons of salt.

But I know my favorite so I expected my result. My son I put the American on top and Velveeta slice on bottom. After he ate them both I asked how was it. He said was good. I asked if he noticed difference in each slice. He said I liked both but you put to much salt on that bottom one :D.

I told him each had a differant cheese on it. I said top was American and bottom was Velveeta. He told me we are American I want American cheese not that other country. He is 9 and told him its a brand of cheese. He is like Dad he was American GC.

I'm quoting this to emphasize. This is the best way to toast bread. I can't remember where I read it or saw it, but I tried it and was immediately sold.

[srvy]

I have seen your post on that. But I have my way and it was brown and crispy not soggy.

I will try it one day but I like it really buttery.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I have seen your post on that. But I have my way and it was brown and crispy not soggy.

I will try it one day but I like it really buttery.

Oh, it'll get really buttery, brown, and crispy my way. :)

But it's important you let the water boil out of the melted butter before you put in the bread.

We did the Fatty Melts tonight, one grilled bacon and havarti cheese sandwich, one grilled bacon and chipotle gouda sandwich, with a 1/3 lb hamburger patty in between. Pure awesomeness.
