How do ypu make a grilled cheese???

Question

I have tried millions of times and it never turns out right please teach me!

Answer 1

Here is what I do.

I prefer rye bread usually, but sometimes I like raisin bread.
With rye I use Cheddar cheese, medium, or Swiss, sometimes Muenster cheese.

Use a medium flame and don't leave. You have to keep your eye on your cooking.

place enough butter/margerine/spray in the pan to cover it when melted.
place both pieces of rye in the pan and put cheese on one half, don't over do it with the cheese or it will drip out while its very hot (although if it comes out on the pan a cooks a bit its tasty---up to you)
When you see the cheese starting to melt, put the piece of bread without cheese on top and compress the sandwich a bit.
Flip when you see its golden brown on the bottom.
add a bit of butter/margerine/spray, for when you flip.
Compress sandwich again, and check in a minute or two to see if bottom is fully golden brown ( or slightly darker)
cheese should be coming out the edges just a bit.
Us spatula to cut the sandwich in half on the skillet (I use stainless steel or iron only) and then serve.
Wait a minute or two before eating---the cheese is hot!

My wife likes to grill a bit of ham and put it in.

Enjoy

The Ypu, known as the Ypuañi amongst other southeast asian islanders, have used the same method for hundreds of generations and I don't find it surprising that you've had trouble duplicating the results. While it's a relatively simple task to bake a similar flatbread using domestic grains, replicating their unique cheese-food has been a stumbling block for many culinary experimentalists trying to create a close approximation of this regional delicacy. The Kraft Corporation has a suitable substitute in their Deli Deluxe line of pasteurized processed cheese foods. The only ingredient this leaves is the butter that gives the toasted bread it's particular flavor. You should be able to find a suitable goat or asian yak butter at any reputable asian market.

As far as tools, any spatula, turner or even tongs are suitable as these do not affect the flavor and are left to the preference of the one preparing the meal. A native turning instrument called a "gavven" is of course acceptable if a thoroughly authentic experience is the desired result, but that's splitting hairs and we're just talking about a cheese sandwich here. The only other piece of equipment needed is any broad flat animal skull on which to "grill" the sandwich. The indiginous peoples often use the skulls of cattle or large reptilians. Whatever you have handy should work fine.

Start a wood fire in a small, recessed pit just large enough to accomodate your chosen skull. You'll want to start with 3-4 logs about the size of your forearm, the harder the wood the better. Let these burn thoroughly until there are only small flames visible on the red hot logs, now becoming coals. Place the skull atop the coals, being careful not to smother them. While paying close attention to keeping your coals hot, turn your attention to evenly spreading your yak butter evenly on both sides of each piece of your flatbread. Next, test the skull to ensure it is hot enough for grilling. To do this simply drop a dime sized piece of butter on the surface you plan to cook on. It should immediately sizzle and evaporate in about 5 seconds. At this point you should place both pieces of bread on the skull to toast what will be the inside of the sandwich. This should only take around 30 seconds. Flip both pieces and immediately place your cheese food evenly on both pieces. You are placing the cheese on a pre-toasted surface so it will begin to melt quickly. After another 30 seconds or so the pieces of cheese should be melting together. You should then flip one side onto the other. Do not press them as you will lose cheese. Move the sandwich around, allowing it to heat all the way through. You may want to flip it once or twice to toast to your desired color, again, taking care not to lose cheese.

All that's left now is to transfer it to a flat surface, allow it to cool for 30-60 seconds and cut in half with one quick motion from a very sharp knife. If your flatbread is square, cut corner to corner. If it was round, good luck finding the corners (sorry, that part always cracks me up). When serving, being a purist, I prefer to eat the sandwich without accompaniments, but with western culture becoming so pervasive, the Ypu are often found enjoying their cultural staple with American catsup. Most notably Heinz.

I hope you find this helpful and I salute your interest in the amazing dishes that are found outside of typical American diets. Enjoy!

Answer 3

1. Heat a medium size skillet over medium heat. (You'll know it's hot enough when you splash a few drops of water on it and it sizzles.)
2. Put mayo on one side of each slice of bread. (Most people use butter to brown the bread)
3. Put the desired cheese on the side of bread that does not have butter on it.
4. Place both slices of bread, buttered side down and cheese side up, on the skillet.
5. Once the cheese starts to get a little melty (only takes a bit), put the sandwich together.
6. Finish cooking to desired doneness.
7. If you want any trimmings (mayo, lettuce, tomato, etc.), disassemble the sandwich, add trimmings, then assemble again.

Answer 4

Get softened butter and spread on one side only of two slices of white, wheat or rye bread. Heat a skillet but not too hot or the butter will burn. Lay one slice butter side down on the skillet. Top with a few slices of cheese and top it with the other slice with the buttered side facing up. With a spatula, peak every now and then under the side of the sandwich directly touching the skillet. When it is a golden brown flip it and repeat on the other side. Take of the heat, let cool a few minutes and enjoy. For a variation you can add slices tomato or slices of ham.

Answer 5

Heat your skillet on low/medium while you're buttering your bread. Make sure you don't spread a lot of butter on your bread or it will turn out kind of mushy. Once you buttered your bread, lay it in the preheated skillet and add any cheese of your choice (thinly sliced colby cheese is the best!). Use a spatula so you can easily turn it over to see if it has turned brown, once it has just flip it onto the other side and do it the same way. It turns out great every single time.

Answer 6

Put a frying pan on the stove and set the heat to about medium
Slap some butter on 2 slices of bread (1 side on each)
Put a slice of cheese in between
Slap it on the frying pan
Wait a few minutes and check it with a spatula, if it's golden brown/burnt flip it. If not keep cooking and checking it.
Repeat to other side

I swear it's not that hard

Answer 7

Start with a non stick frying pan. Place frying pan over LOW heat. It is important that the heat is low so that the cheese will have time to melt and the bread will brown nicely and not burn.

1) lightly butter bread on one side
2) place buttered side down in pan
3) place cheese on bread
4) place second slice of buttered bread on top (buttered side out)
5) allow bread to turn golden, flip sandwich over and brown other side

ENJOY!

Answer 8

2 slices of bread, soft butter, or margarine, and cheese. (we even use a real mild swiss, tastes good) Most people use american. Put the butter on one slice of bread, then the cheese, then butter both sides of the other slice of bread. then put that on the bread/cheese. put a pat or two of butter in the pan, and melt it. Put the cheese sandw in the butter in the pan and brown it. be careful, not too brown, or it will burn. Then flip it over gently, and brown the other side. Should work out good. Also don't have the flame up too hi, or it will burn, good luck!

Answer 9

This is like the simpliest thing in the world to make....
Butter two pieces of bread. Put one piece in the preheated HOT skillet buttered side down. Put the cheese on this slice. Put the other piece of bread on top, butter side up. When the piece on the pan is a nice golden brown, turn it over and heat until the second piece is brown. It is next to impossible to do this wrong......

Answer 10

butter the outsides of two pieces of bresd put cheese between the slices grill it with the butter side towards pan flip periodically untill golden brown
