Any good Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipes?

Answer 1

my favorite is ..
grilled cheese with bacon & tomatoe

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain. put buttered bread in the skillet. Top with a slice of cheese, 2 slices tomato, bacon, and another slice of cheese. Cover with a slice of bread grill sandwiches until golden on both sides.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Have fun with it--try varying both the cheese and the bread.

For the cheese, smoked gouda is great. Also try havarti (preferably the real Danish havarti). It has a nice mildly nutty flavor. It's a fairly soft cheese to begin with, and so it melts beautifully with little effort (though it can get a little oily when melted, so you may want to cut back on the butter on the inside of the sandwich).

Try flavored cheeses, like pepper jack, jalapeno havarti, herb havarti, etc. A fun one that I've tried before is using the shredded "Mexican" cheese mix (the one with spices mixed in). It's pretty cheap, has a good flavor, and works well with a little marinara sauce either on the bread or as a dip.

Try mozzarella, which is great with fresh sliced plum (roma) tomatoes and a little basil (preferably a few fresh leaves, or a sparing amount of the dried). It's a classic combination of flavors that work well together. Oh! Almost forgot parmesan! You can use the good stuff (real slices of parmigiano reggiano), or try perking up a regular grilled cheese with some grated parmesan.

As for the bread, try rye, pumpernickel, semolina (fantastically crusty), English muffin bread (in loaf form), Italian bread, whole wheat, multigrain (nicely nutty).

Try different seasonings. Freshly ground black pepper, basil, oregano, paprika, etc.

I was a huge fan of grilled cheese sandwiches as a kid (and I guess I still am). My first attempt at making them was when I was about six years old. I tried making one on the heat register grille of my house. My parents just shook their heads and let me try. The bread wasn't really toasted, but I did manage to melt the cheese!

As I said before, have fun with it! Enjoy!

Answer 4

I hope your not counting calories

I use extra Sharp cheddar cheese, don't worry if you don't like sharp cheese, when it's melted it's no longer sharp, but the flavor is wonderful.

You can use any bread you want I prefer whole grain.

Butter both sides of the bread put cheese, thinly sliced tomato and cooked bacon or pepperoni on and grill till done.

or use whole grain bread, feta cheese, pitted kalamata olives and some fresh baby spinach, spray with olive oil Pam or brush with olive oil and grill.

For a grilled cheese dessert:

Use cinnamon raisin bread, and yes they make whole grain,
mix cream cheese with a little sugar or sugar substitute, blend well, spread on bread and add some chocolate morsels like Nestles, use butter flavored Pam or butter, what the hey and grill.

Answer 5

You haven't lived until you try using other cheeses, besides the (all) American processed cheese....
Try using an organic white cheddar with a good tomato soup on the side; or with the white cheese use bacon and slice toms inside for a variation.. Oh, and try gouda...ymmmm
A great bread for this particular recipe is a 7 grain bread like the Ezekiel you can find in the freezer at the health food store.
ymmmmm smile...

Answer 6

We love grilled cheese in our house....

We do a Pizza one. Same as a grilled cheese a very little spaghetti sauce and pepperoni.

Ham and cheese we use Swiss and ham.

Bacon and cheese. Just add bacon to the grilled cheese. Sometimes we add thin sliced tomato...these are all great creations:-)

Answer 7

The old fashion melted cheese and tomato is the best in my opinion. The most important thing in making a great grilled cheese is patience: keep the heat low to med so the bread does not burn and make sure you butter both slices. I like mozzerella but don't use it if your trying to impress someone you are eating with:STRINGY

Answer 8

HAHAHAHAH! TOO FUNNY!!!

I just tried something different with my grilled cheese, honest to God, I just finished it, and it was wonderful...

Use a good quality butter, (and please, use butter, margarine is one molecule away from plastic and yes, so are alot of things)

What I did, I buttered the two slices of bread, and then took an additional slice of bread, and buttered both sides, lightly, then in the skillet, put bread butter side down, I used a good quality Cheddar (white) and just one slice (from a quality deli) and then put in the middle bread, another slice of aforementioned cheese, and then the final slice of bread, grilled to GBD (Golden Brown Delicious), and enjoyed.

The additional slice of bread in the middle created this moisture maker that cannot be explained, and it made it all ooye-goooy-e.

Best of luck.

Ohhh.. and tomato soup...

Answer 10

Just use different cheese or different bread. Try french bread and swiss cheese with good ham and put under an oven broiler for 5 minutes a side. Don't forget the spicy mustard.
