What's your favorite variety of grilled cheese sandwich?

Question

What sort of bread and cheese do you use? Do you put any extras in? Just looking for new ideas.
Thanks!

Answer 1

We call this one "The BIG O". Get some really good bread, sour dough is one of our favs, so is whole grain w/ nutty things in it. Spead a good fat pat of butter on the heating pan, so that nothing sticks. Spread pesto on each piece of bread you're going to use. Lay down mozzarella (fresh mozza is incredible in this, but the other kind works well, too!) on top of one of the pesto-covered slices of bread, and thick slices of fresh garden tomatoes on the other slice of pesto-covered bread. You can also put a drizzle of olive oil, freshly ground black pepper and salt on the tomatoes. Put it together. Grill 'til golden brown and all melty. Remove from heat to a plate, tuck a big ole napkin under your chin and come to orgasm, baby. This is also killer w/ rosemary ham, grilled chicken, prosciutto, or pepperoni added to it. Bacon would be killer (but a cholesterol bomb), too! Good also w/ avocado added after cooking. Muenster, gruyere, havarti, jack w/ jalapeno cheeses, edam, fontina, to say nothing of a good aged cheddar...are also all really good! So are smoked cheeses w/ turkey in this. Experiment. Even the disasters (as if there could be such a thing w/ grilled cheese...) are fun to eat, too. Serve w/ lots of good cold beer for a complete glut!

Answer 2

I like white bread with american cheese & dill pickle slices or ham.

I'm also a HUGE fan of grilled cheese on Sourdough bread.

I'm dont like using cheddar because of the way it separates when it melts.. it makes for a greesy sandwich. But colby-jack, pepperjack or mozzerella makes a good grilled cheese too.

Answer 3

Whole Grain bread with Provolone cheese :) If you slightly buttered the bread before grilling, it tastes even more amazing.

Answer 4

Im big on tomato basil bread I buy at Panera bread.I love using only real butter.I always try a variety of cheeses from pepperjack to sharp chedars.With a wonderful soup ...if its homemade potato or tomato bisque

Answer 5

I prefer a hearty bread, like Health Nut, with 3 cheeses-
cheddar, swiss & colby or provolone. I grill it with a garlic butter spread.

Answer 6

I use 100% wheat, two slices of Colby Jack cheese, onions, and jalapenos. Sometimes I toast it in a toaster oven or I put butter in a skillet and fry it the old fashioned way.

Answer 7

I use white bread, and american cheese, but I like to put ham in the sandwich too( if you eat meat).

Answer 8

sourdough bread with real colby jack cheese (not the presliced stuff) and grilled ham. it gives it a whole new taste and is good with a bowl of soup. YUM!

Answer 9

Rye Bread with Lorraine Swiss, or Wheat Bread with Provolone and sliced tomatoes. Always use real butter, and you don't need that much of it.

Answer 10

Wheat bread and any good melting cheese. I don't like American cheese, but provolone is great. I also like to add tomato sometimes.
