    I add mushrooms to my grilled cheese sandwiches - they add to the flavor and also add moisture.

    I don't use butter for my grilled cheese sandwiches...too unhealthy. Instead, I put some olive oil in a nonstick pan and fry in that. Try it...its delicious!!!

    I'm stunned that you didn't mention how some people like to use two pancakes as bread for their grilled cheese. Also. I sometimes roll the cheese in white rice before cooking.
    Play on playa.

    I've just been enjoying a supper of grilled cheese sandwiches, so this is very timely. My hint is to add slices of tomato after the sandwich is toasted, as it saved a burned mouth and tastes better with that bit of something uncooked with all that melted cheese - yum!

    Homemade, I like my cheese sandwiches with only cheese. When I eat out, I get with either green olives, unions, or tomatos, or a combo. Had a corn one once - not again, I won't.

    I've recently started adding stuff (which, as you mention above, makes it less a "grilled cheese sandwich"). But with all the panini sandwiches offered these days, it's hard not to think ... "Hmm, maybe if I added some bacon. Or some roast beef. Wait -- bacon AND roast beef. And peppers." Etc. Maybe I should get back to the basics ...

    I must wonder if there is a way to make a *bad* grilled cheese... but I do suppose some are better than others. I like American cheese, since it melts best, with a few other cheese types layered inside to add more flavor.

    Sea salt likes a real nice way to kick it up a notch.. How about cooking a little rosemary and thyme into the bread? Alternatively, I use those spices along with oregano in my tomato soup. It gives it a real nice pseudo-Italian zest! =oD
  • Widemouth Mar 19, 2011 @ 6:39 pm | delete
    Great lens on something simple but good. I almost laugh to admit but when I was a kid we used to make melted cheese sandwiches in the microwave (we almost never use on now - I only have one for heating those grain filled heating pads) and recently I decided to make one in my garage microwave. I use squirelly bread and one slice of american cheddar but cover the bottom piece of bread with dried chillies. I only heat it for about 30 seconds then flip it and heat again. You have to eat it right away and it is a wonderful hot, soft and tasty treat with some kick but you have to eat it warm before it gets rubbery :)

    My daughter-in-law recently ate my grilled cheese sandwiches and was entirely impressed. I didn't do anything special, but she loved the result.

    Yep, I make these every weekend with whatever cheese(s) we have left from recipes and weekday lunches. The constants are plenty of dijon mustard, good wheat bread, and butter all the way out to the crusts before grilling. But our local paper had a feature on this subject--which place serves the best GCS?--and concluded that "they're all the best." :)

    It is amazing how something so simple can be so satisfying. When it comes to a GCS, you can be either as imaginative as your guest chefs at the top of the page...or as basic as a slice of American cheese between two buttered slices of Silvercup. It's all good, as they say. (Do they still make Silvercup?) starring favoriting and rolling this one to my Laftovers lens.

    cream cheese, jalapenos (make sure they're not too watery), cheddar, jack. two big pieces of delicious bread (not wonder bread). generous butter (not margarine). also, let cheese sit out of the refrigerator (covered) for thirty minutes or so, so it melts well.

    I had a toasted cheese sandwich today. I made it on pumpernickel bread: two layers of cheese with a layer of Virginia Baked Ham in the center and a little mustard, cause I always like mustard with ham.

    On Sundays we use a loaf of bread.
    Cut onion 1- 2 into small pieces and Fry onions on you Sandwich make and close the lid, stir whilst cutting cheese and tomato, then put into a bowl
    Cut Tasty cheese slices, thick or thin. Place into bowl.
    Cut tomato into small segments, pepper and salt to taste.
    One layer of each between two layers of bread
    Smear of butter or what ever and toast to golden brown.
    Beautiful.
    Then again if you want something different from Cheese.
    Squash half a banana and float a little brown sugar on top and then a thin smear of butter on both sides of you newly create toasted sandwich.
    Perfection has never been so close.
    Last Sunday four of us polished off one loaf of bread.
    500 grams of tasty cheese.

    This reminds me a lot of the European version "croque monsieur". Bread, cheese, cooked ham, (cheese,) bread. I use Gouda (=from the Netherlands) most of the time. They are served with salad and tomatoes. A variation is "croque madame". This is with an egg on top.
    "Croque Boum Boum" is served with Bolognese sauce. You should try this one of you like it with the tomato soup.

    My favorite rainy-day lunch starts with whole grain bread, slices of strong cheddar with a bit of pepperjack for kick. Brush the outsides of the bread with extra virgin olive oil, grill or fry till crispy brown bits form on the outside and the cheese oozes out the edges. Pour a mug of hot tomato soup (I prefer Pacific Natural Foods Organic Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato). Add apple or pear slices on the side for dessert. Mmmmm. Now I'm hungry, and it's not even rainin'.

    Try Australia's Favourite Toastie! I work for Dairy Farmers, a large dairy company in Australia. Recently, we held a national consumer promotion in search of the best cheese on toast sandwich or "toastie" as we call them here. Try this winning version!

    1 bunch asparagus spears, ends trimmed
    4 slices rye bread
    1 small ripe avocado, peeled and roughly mashed
    100g shaved smoked ham
    60g sun-dried tomatoes
    Handful fresh basil leaved
    4 slices tasty cheese

    Grill asparagus spears until just tender. Lightly toast rye bread. Spread avocado over each slice of bread and top with ham, sun-dried tomatoes, basil leaves, asparagus spears and tasty cheese. Place under a preheated grill until cheese is bubbling. Serve immediately. Makes 4 slices.

    Take 1/2c shredded cheese and drop it on a nonstick pan, med heat. The cheese will melt and maybe bubble a bit. Lay your bread on top of the cheese and press so it soaks up the cheese. Flip the bread, sprinkle bacon bits and lay on the other slice, brown both sidesand bang! Goood

    Yummy lens! Instead of using butter on the outside of the bread slices (for frying pan method), use mayonnaise, really tasty! - Kathy

    Plain grilled cheese with tomato soup is my favorite! If I want really gooey, then I put mayonnaise and a little bit of ketchup on the inside of the bread before I grill it...5*****

    I recently started having my grilled cheese sandwiches with fresh tomato slices and Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce. Wow! Is that yummy!

    Hhmm - honestly I like the sammiches so much that the type of bread or cheese is irrelevant to me. Just hand it over please. (Although, in addition to the required dill pickle spear on the side, I often will dip the sandwich into Frank's Red Hot Sauce - Buffalo Style.) Thanks for this yummy lens!

    Grilled Cheese and Tofu - add two slices of grilled extra firm tofu and your favorite vegan cheese for a healthy, high protein grilled cheese sandwich. Add mustard for a little kick. The kids love it.

    Use whole wheat bread with Hellman's mayonaise on both slices... add dijon mustard to one slice. I recommend both American and Swiss cheese... mmm. Optional: slice of tomato.

    Pepperjack cheese, thinly sliced portabella mushrooms, Annie's Goddess Dressing, more pepperjack.

    Grill as normal , enjoy tremendously, and prepare to slip into an afternoon food coma.

    Crispy crunchy bread with soft flavorful melty cheese inside - that's the ideal grilled cheese! We always partially toast the bread before grilling to make sure it gets really crispy. And I agree about the basil

    Maybe only Southerners have heard of pimiento cheese (I don't know), but if you HAVE heard of it, you can make a yummy grilled cheese sandwich with it! :)

    Use 3 or 4 cheeses...swiss, cheddar, provolone, muenster, what every you like...on thick slices of White Mountain bread(round white bread w/flour on top from bakery at the grocery store). Secretly put lots of fresh garlic slices in the middle. Fabulous served with chunky homemade tomato soup.

    I think everyone should be giving a big shout out to those folks in Wales because their national food is a cheese and onion toastie (in North American speak that is a grilled cheese with onion.)
  • Chrispa Dec 20, 2006 @ 6:34 am | delete
    Technically, the best cheese sandwiches involve a piece of toast with butter and dijon mustard spread on one side, tomato slices on top, and shredded cheese (colby, cheddar etc) and a good dash of worsteshire sauce. Place under a griller to melt cheese.

    Hi Kimberly- Great lens!
    A warm and gooey welcome to the Cook's Nook Group too!

    My fave? Halloumi cheese, sourdough bread, fresh herbs (oregano, basil) and thinly sliced vine-ripe tomato. The trick: brown the cheese first in some oil- it has a high melting temp (used for Greek 'Flaming Cheese').

    Best grilled cheese in san diego deli...
    the urban grilled cheese. it's grilled in a pannini machine with a combo of cheddar, pepper jack, and provolone cheese with a side of cilantro ranch for dipping. You have to try it. http://www.urbanfreshdeli.com

  • Pyeman73 Aug 16, 2006 @ 5:34 pm | delete
    Nothing beats the Greek grilled cheese in my book. Use olive oil instead of butter (brush the bread lightly) and then fill it with a mixture of pre-cooked ground lamb, diced Kalamata olives and feta cheese. Works better with a proper sandwich maket than a frying pan.
