I like to add tuna salad and a few thick slices of fresh tomato to my grilled cheese.

>>7381905
it's a grilled cheese

by definition, it's two pieces of bread with cheese in the middle, toasted

you can change cheeses, you can change breads

once you add anything else to it, it is no longer a grilled cheese

>>7381905

Freeze the bread
When hard butter it up
sprinkle and press in fine chopped garlic into the butter
>stick the sandwich into a waffle iron.

add meats if you have it.

a nice sharp cheddar on normal wheat bread

I dip it sriracha or dijon mustard

>>7381927
if it's dipped it's not a grilled cheese

Back when I was fat as sin, I used to dip grilled cheeses in a Ketchup/vinegar/ranch dressing combo.

any kind of leftover meat or sauce, ie leftover roast pork or steak.

My all time favourite is one I made using leftover pork meatballs and the marinara sauce which had rosemary and garlic in it, on some sourdough loaf.

I try to make it so that the cheese is still the main part of the sandwich tho.

>>7381915
is a faggot posting a melt

>>7381932
That doesn't make any sense. If you dip it in something it was never a grilled cheese?

>>7381954
if you slather a steak in ketchup is it still a steak?

Dipping is OK, but as soon as you add anything like your filfthy "bacon grilled cheeses" it's a melt, not a grilled cheese. You can add different types of cheeses, breads, butters, etc. I myself even partake in a melt if I feel as if it's so.

>>7381995
reddit made this "le xD may may" popular, but I was believing this from the beginning.

I asked the head chef at my job when a grilled cheese becomes a melt. He said if you add any meat besides bacon, it becomes a melt

I like my grilled cheese with macaroni in the middle

>>7381996

What if I add jelly or jam to my grilled cheese? Is it still a grilled cheese?

>>7382329

I'm pretty sure that's what they call "pie" in New England.

Nice mature cheddar and a splash of lea and perrins

Bit of homemade green tomato chutney on the side

Brie with thinly sliced chilli was the most recent I've made

Grilled peanut butter and cheese. Can't beat it.

A lot of the food in the movie looked good. Pretty much the only reason to watch it.

How do you get them to looks so crispy?

Mine always come out of the microwave soggy

>>7383215
Is it bad I don't butter my grilled cheese at all ? They grill fine without it and butterring the bread makes it taste way too fatty imo

>>7383510
I usually don't butter mine either for the same reason, it makes the sandwich too greasy.

I do use butter from time to time as kind of a treat I guess, but when I normally make grilled cheese sandwiches, I just put it straight in the pan.

>>7383510
Exactly. I live in Europe and there's like 1 chain that specializes in grilled cheese and they butter the shit out of their sandwiches, way too greasy for me. I like to add green peppers and onions to my grilled cheeses though

>>7383478

You made a quesadilla, anon, not a grilled cheese.

>>7383510
>>7383519
>>7383529
One of the skinniest people I've ever known claims to use a whole stick of butter. I'm pretty sure he was exaggerating, but I sure don't mind a generous amount of butter. That's part of what makes the sandwich for me. I understand not wanting it to be greasy though. That's just sort of what I expect of grilled cheese sandwiches.

>>7381905
Is there anything actually wrong with preferring margarine over butter?
A friend of mine offered me a grilled cheese but I turned it down when he told me he uses butter.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the culinary school, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret chef cook-offs, and I have over 300 confirmed grilled cheeses. I am trained in American cooking and I’m the top chef in the entire American Culinary Federation. You are nothing to me but just another faggot asking for a bacon “grilled cheese”. I will wipe you the fuck out with tastes the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit is a grilled cheese to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of chefs across the USA and your name is being blacklisted right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call you call a grilled cheese. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can cook a grilled cheese in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed cooking, but I have access to the entire kitchen of the American Culinary Federation and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable melts off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Fucking 'poors, I swear.

>>7385393
Try it, bro. It's fucking delicious. Of course slice them, not put an entire pickle in there.

>>7381922
It's way less work to just melt a little pad of butter right in the pan or griddle and then throw the sandwich down on top of it. Repeat when you flip. There's also the secondary benefit of not needing quite as much butter for basically no compromise in taste.

>>7387700

I disagree.

I have no idea why anyone would need to use frozen bread, but spreading a thin layer of room temperature butter on non-frozen slices of bread will definitely require less butter, and give you more even browning.

>>7387726
Maybe it's where I live, but "room temperature" butter is still too hard to spread. I assume that's why he's freezing his bread.

>>7387726
Freezing the bread hardens it so that you can press the fresh garlic into the bread with the bread being ripped up

>>7387756

>i assume that's why he's freezing his bread

Wouldn't it make more sense to toast it for a minute first instead?

I figured the freezing had more to do with the garlic part of it, but I'd just use garlic powder if I wanted to go that route.

Alton Brown is cool

>>7382344
This.

>>7387823
Normally, I like Alton Brown...

But that seems like a LOT of work just to tart up something that is supposed to be for children with no taste. It's like putting lobster in mac and cheese or dousing a $60 steak in spices.

If you're going to be grilling up something worthwhile anyway, then MAYBE it's worth it. Otherwise a griddled cheese is fine.

>>7387823

>i know that some of you are thinking that the spatulas are just acting as a griddle

Exactly what I was thinking the entire time.

It doesn't look bad, but the bread is way too thick and way too grilled/crunchy.

>>7387981
Yeah. I don't think I would go through the trouble to make grilled cheese like that, but if it was available at a restaurant prepared that way I would sure as fuck order it.

>>7387994
I still wouldn't and it's not because I don't like grilled cheese or because I don't think it'd be good, but because any restaurant willing to do that probably has much better fare to sample.

Maybe like a food truck that just does that or place where I can't find anything I'd like on the menu (impossible because I'm fat).

>>7388016
No reason you can't go to a good restaurant more than once to try various things on the menu.

>>7388016

Place I used to work used to make a handful of sandwiches and wraps sort of like that, using those oval sizzle plates (can't figure out what they're actually called).

You could load up the plate with cheese (and whatever else, such as turkey and bacon for one of the wraps) and then you could put it on the grill, in the convection oven, or in the pizza oven, depending on whatever was easiest at the moment.

There was literally no difference in the result, aside from people burning the cheese when they threw it in the pizza oven.

We had one sandwich where the bread was grilled with a pesto aioli, but that was done earlier in the day, wrapped up, put in the fridge, and thrown in the oven when an order came in.

We did put the tortillas on the grill to heat them up for wraps.

>no melts allowed

Then what's the point of this thread?

>>7381905

I make this maybe twice a year.

Cheddar, boursin herb cream cheese, onion or chive, jalapeno, salami/bacon whole wheat or sourdough bread. I will serve it with fries or chips, and a bowl of either french onion or tomato soup. I shamelessly admit I will dip a little in ketchup or sriracha.

Like I said, twice a year at most, don't eat junk often. This is just comfort food at its best and reminds me of being a kid.

based food network autist

i ate this sandwich for lunch for almost a month straight couple years back, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

first carmelize some vidalia onions in bacon fat until it almost becomes like a jelly, set aside
take a couple slices of a hearty bread, i think i was using canadian white, and spread more bacon fat on both slices.
preheat your pan, and put one slice in it while it warms up so you can start assembling it while its in the pan.

other ingredients as follows-
-hoffman sharp cheddar
-hormel cure 81 sliced ham
-and of course the onions

top it with the other slice of bread, throw another skillet on top to press it, cook it slow so everything melts and gets a nice crust, flip it a couple times and enjoy

like god jizzed in my mouth
