I need some new ideas...the only thing I do is throw a tomato between the processed cheese slices. I feel like I'm missing out on a whole awesome world of grilled cheeses

Mr. Beethoven makes incredible grilled cheese sandwiches. I think it's the real butter they are drowned in first.

use real cheese, fresh basil, add ham (not cold cut) and grilled onions. but then you have real melt and not some 5yr old's grilled cheese.

When I was little and I couldn't use the stove/skillet to make a grilled cheese sandwhich, I would toast my bread and butter them religiously. Then I would assemble the sandwhich with 2 slices of kraft sliced cheese and microwave each side for 11 seconds. Yum!

This is one of those food items where I describe it as a "it's your world" type of thing.

Just put in there what you like. You have the basics down.

Two slices of buttered bread put in a pan with cheese. Flip until done.

Given that, you can add in what you want.

Depends on what you like.

Basic shit is going to be meats:

Bacon, pepperoni, bologna, pastrami. Basically any thin sliced meats.

You can melt from there and be ok, or spice it up a bit.

Throw in some mushrooms, or tomato, or some lettuce.

Popular way is a melted BLT.

An already cooked egg added in is good too.

A bacon egg and cheese sandwich is just a grilled cheese with bacon and egg.

The trick is, to get your mind to learn what goes good together.

You want to take a basic idea....the grilled cheese, and make it your own.

Throw whatever you like in, as long as its what you like.

Like bacon, tuna, cheese, tomato?

Grilled cheese with bacon tomato and tuna.

It really is YOUR WORLD.

A favorite of mine is:

A grilled cheese with swiss, american, pepperjack with ham, bacon, avocado.

Wanna really get crazy, when you put the butter in the pan to get it done, throw down some grated cheese and melt/crisp it into the side of the bread.

Fucking $

Grilled Cheese is basically one of those things you can do whatever the hell you want to it and its going to be awesome as long as you have some basic idea what you are doing and aren't a total fucking idiot.

1) heat up pan
2) spread a bit of mayonaise and a small amount of mustard on one side of two slices of bread
3) melt a generous amount of butter in pan
4) mop up butter with the dry side of one of the slices of bread
5) add a generous amount of cheese to bread (I usually prefer extra sharp white cheddar)
6) place the other slice of bread condiment side down on the cheese
7) when the bottom slice of bread is golden brown, take the sandwich out with a spatula
8) add more butter to the pan
9) flip the uncooked side of the sandwich down and mop up that butter
10) cook until that side is golden brown

serve with tomato soup and a glass of whole milk

Get some nice thick pieces of sliced bread, butter both sides. Brown the bread slightly first and then add in any sliced cheese you want, more the merrier (muenster, provolone, Cheddar, American, Monterrey jack, Colby, Brie, Havarti) And in the middle put a few slices of bacon cooked from earlier and cook till the cheeses start to ooze. Enjoy.

A Foreman grill makes one hell of a good and consistent frilled cheese.

If you don't mind the grill press marks.

Isn't it better to pre-butter the bread to ensure consistent butter coverage?

Has anyone discussed massaging the butter into the bread?

If you want to do it right and not use a ton of butter, melt the butter in the microwave beforehand. Take the melted butter and spread it across one side of each piece of bread. This is a lot easier than trying to take cold butter to get the even spread.

"processed cheese slices"


That's the problem.

Use some real cheese (any cheese you like... I love Red Leicester and cheddar), tomato as you already do, and also raw onion slices (thinly cut). (the flavor and aroma of onion getting cooked in melted cheese is heavenly!)

Put it in a grill, and that's the best grilled cheese you will ever eat. (sauteed mushrooms makes it even better, but I do that rarely, if ever)

(adding meat, chicken, tuna, etc makes it not a "grilled cheese" anymore, IMO)

^ true. (when i said use any cheese you like, i kind of implied that it has to be the melting type, such as cheddar)

also, the bread you use can also make a big difference.

well i suggested brioche. nice and dense. and the balance of sweet and salty don't require a sprinkle of sugar on top

what kind of bread so you suggest?

sprinkle of sugar on top, and the apple suggestion, both seem weird to me.

i use sliced bread most of the time, but it has to be dense, hearty, and grainy (the exact opposite of gummy white bread). once in a while i use a whole wheat baguette, but you gotta grill it inside a grill for a while, and also press down on the grill to compress the baguette.

pita bread also makes a heavenly one, like a quesadilla

there is really only a couple variations of grilled cheese (w/ mayo or w/o, buttered up or not, and what cheese and bread choices you make)


all yall are just coming in here and posting hot sammiches you like to make that involve cheese and either grilling or pressing. Don't over think it- a grilled cheese is exactly that- a grilled cheese.


Although, I have a feeling this is what the OP wanted, so he should have gone "what hot cheese sammiches do you like?"

The one I posted is purer than many others in this thread (mine has tomato and onion, others are putting meats/chicken/tuna).

But even if that is not pure enough, go with just cheese.

yeah, once you start adding other things, they become the namesake/focus of the sammich. Onions and tomato are kinda tricky though, as I consider them an add-on just as much as cheese.
