The BEST grilled cheese sandwich ever!

[kelbro]

I love grilled cheese sandwiches with a tomato basil soup but mine is boring.

Describe yours...

Bread?

Cheese(s)?

Condiments, toasting, etc...

Thanks!

Bread (white), cheese (American), margarine....the classic. None of that fancy stuff for me.

Sourdough bread, slices of roasted/rotisseried pork loin, triple cream brie, grainy Dijon mustard and hot pickled peppers.

You can't beat proper Welsh Rarebit: good cheddar; butter; beer; mustard; Worcester sauce; and a bit of cornflour to thicken. Spread on a slice of my home-made sourdough, grilled on one side only, and then sizzled under the grill. Heavenly.

Mmmmm...British cuisine.

I make grilled cheese two at a time. Both get onions and one bread slice of each has mayo. The one sandwich get a piece of Swiss and a piece of sharp cheddar. The second one has the Swiss sandwiched between two pieces of cheddar. I like to eat the best thing on the plate last. Since the second one has more cheese, it is clearly better, so I don't have to put much thought into which sandwich is better. Yes, I'm a loony.

My grandmother used to make one with buttered rye. I know that it had dijon mustard. Wish I knew what cheese it was.

Sorry the photo came out upside down. I often screw up a grilled cheese sandwich when I flip it too. But it's a good book.

Sautéed pepperoncinis and onions on sourdough; grilled with swiss cheese and butter.

If you want your bread toasted to perfection skip the butter and barely give

it a lick of mayo instead.

12 grain bread. Old cheddar, Swiss, Mozzarella, or a combination. Roast chicken, beef, pastrami, if I happen to have it on hand. Deli mustard.

Whichever way you have tomato soup and grilled cheese. . . I'm with you.

Yeah, that about sums it up for us. I'll throw in a slice of tomato for those that like them, but I prefer mine plain. They are usually accompanied by Campbell's tomato soup. Great meal for a rainy Monday.

It's not a proper grilled cheese if it has meat, vegetables, or condiments. Just bread, cheese, and butter for toasting. I like sourdough and Muenster.

Open-faced, grilled with bacon was always a favourite at home growing up, still works pretty well.

Mayo on the outside? I'll give it a try.

My favourite is a simple, buttered white bread filled with cheese and a good amount of onion.
Some days I want a bit more and may also use some ham or tomato as well.
I have added a mustard pickle to the base cheese and onion mix, that was very nice.

That sounds intriguing, Jim. I'll be trying that next time I make one.

Much as I love the plain and simple, one I also love is wheat bread with a slice of tomato and basil pesto.

Some nice recipes here. My wife's family likes to use Velveeta but I have convinced her to use sharp Cheddar instead. I like it on sourdough bread, with bacon and tomato but we usually have it with just tomato. I like to use mustard but the rest of the family likes mayo.

If you have such thing in the house, you can also use the not mayo spread Miracle Whip. I have had a grilled sammich or two made this way, and it is one of the few acceptable uses I've found for that particular product... if you want to change up the flavor a little bit.

I'm on the list with the basic classic. Buttered bread (not too fussy on the type... rye, pumpernickel, white, sourdough), 2 slices of wrapped American cheese food (or a thicker slice of Velveeta), and Campbell's Tomato (made with whole milk, no water, if you please). As soon as I add anything else to the sandwich, I consider it a grilled sandwich, not grilled cheese. lol

Same here, but with sharp cheddar and some mayo. Simple goodness.
