The key to a really great grilled cheese sandwich is not what you add to it, but the type of bread and the type of cheese you use. For instance, my all time favorite is Jewish rye with sharp cheddar. I am also very fond of pumpernickel and Swiss and sour dough bread with Colby jack. Trust me, if you are a true grilled cheese lover, you will appreciate how well these flavors blend. The simpler the ingredients, the tastier the sandwich!!
OOPS!! I almost forgot another one...
Lightly sprinkle a little garlic salt on both sides of lightly buttered bread. Add mozzarella cheese and grill. It's a little like garlic cheese bread. And if you like...you can dip it in pizza sauce you warm up in the microwave.

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches:
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
8 (1/2-inch thick) slices country-style sourdough bread
12 ounces Monterey jack, farmhouse Cheddar, Gruyere, or imported Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Ad-ins--choose one:
8 slices smoked bacon, cooked and broken into 1-inch pieces,
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced, and drained on paper towels for 5 minutes, or
8 slices baked ham
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place 4 slices of bread on a cutting board and generously butter the top sides of each slice. Melt another tablespoon of the butter in the skillet; swirl around to coat the pan.
Lay 2 slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Put a few slices of the cheese on the bread. Lay the bacon, tomato, or ham on top of the cheese. Cover with a few more slices of cheese. Top with 2 of the remaining slices of bread, placed buttered-side up. Cook, without pressing, until the bread browns and the cheese is slightly melted, about 5 minutes. Turn the sandwiches with a spatula and add a small hazelnut-size piece of butter to the pan. Cook slowly, adjusting the heat as needed to melt the cheese completely before the sandwiches are brown, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with the other 2 sandwiches. Serve.

anything you can put between bread can be grilled. My kids love ham and cheese grilled on garlic bread, turkey tomato and Swiss on rye, or how about raisin bread bacon mozzarella and turkey. These are only a few of the great grilled sandwiches that can be made at home. I have also made the famous grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches Elvis loved so much. I'm sure there are more but these are ones I'm familiar with.

Two slices sourdough or Jewish rye bread
Provolone and Monterey Jack cheese
Portobello Mushrooms
Sliced Roma tomato
Place the veggies "inside" cheese slices inside the bread so that the cheese melt around them. Butter both sides of the sandwich (use real butter). Grill in cast iron skillet coated with non-stick cooking spray.
DELICIOUS!!!!

Not much to a grilled cheese really. But if you want to kick up a bit, try a premium bread and a blend of real cheeses instead of slices.
Rye bread and Mozzarella is good.
cheddar and swiss on french bread is also good.
I've also tried Gouda. it was good, but I think it could have used another cheese to set it off, maybe a sprinkle of parmesan.
Good luck.

I like to wait til I cook it, but its still hot and put a slice of tomato and some salt between the bread. Also try provolone or mozzarella cheese.

Don't Knock this if you haven't tried it.
Just spread one slice with Vegemite.
Add some thinly sliced onion.
It is milder than Marmite and makes a wonderful sweetish taste
