Low heat for longer time. White bread, butter or mayo, and a stretchy cheese like mozzarella or monterey jack. Butter your bread, shred your cheese, and cram it up my ass for around 10 minutes.

mayonnaise instead of butter. i thought you cheeky fuckers were trying to mess up my pan or something but--as it turns out--it produces a BETTER grilled cheese & is far more economical

Brown butter tastes delicious. Mayo is mostly flavorless neutral oil. The only reason it might taste better is because of the acidity but I'd rather get that from something else while using butter.

>>16442603
which side should you you butter?

Nutmeg

Sharpest cheddar you can get your hands on and then put in honey and cinnamorrn.

>>16442712
>cheddar in hone and cinnamon
what the fuck?

>>16442731
Sounds weird but its a sweet and salty combo that can't be beat.

>>16442712
This is an interesting take....sometimes I think people are just shitposting things like this until I try them. That one is gonna go on the to do list

>>16441367

you cant. the only perfect grilled cheese comes in the form of one made for you by your loving mom when you were a kid. she knows exactly when youre going to want a snack and youre sweaty and panting when you run in the house and it smells like your favorite comfy grilled cheeses and she's already cutting into it by the time you get to the table. you devour it in 5 or 6 huge bites, chug some juice or water and give her a kiss on the cheek before you run out again to play cops or robbers or ride your bike. fuck i miss you mom.

> use a proper melty cheese and preferably a mix of them: Gruyere, Emmental, Raclette, Provolone, Mozzarella, Cheddar (In order of greatness)
> Make sure all the ingredients are room temperature
> Butter the bread on the outside, don't just throw it in a pan with melted butter, it's not the same
> Slices of nice ham go in the middle, because fuck off, it's better, cheeses on the outside (this step is optional for the purists).
> Pan, nice an' hot
> Dash a olive oil in the pan
> Whack 'er in
> Reduce temp
> Add lid
> Wait ~2 mins
> Flip it
> Bump heat up again
> Wait 1 minute
> Lid back on
> One more minute
> Remove from pan, hot side up onto a plate
> Salt and pepper the top of your grilled cheese, this is important, on the outside and on recently cooked side
> Cut diagonally with precision
> Serve to your hungry SO or dinner date who can smell the deliciousness
> Now cram it up your ass while staring her straight in the eyes
> Right up there, use a utensil if you have to get further reach
> Softly whisper "I love you so much"
Wah lah

bump for perfection

>How do I make the perfect grilled cheese?
Crusty bread like tuscan boule sourdough my favorite, but usually nothing whole grain, more like white mountain or a pullman loaf. Two or more types of cheese, one should have a good melting ooziness.

Low-medium heat, nonstick.
Butter the nonstick pan with a pat of swirled butter, just the right amount for the size of the slice, then lay down the first slice right away in the melting butter.
Gouda + sharp cheddar is my favorite, but you can add what you have on hand, from muenster to swiss. Ideally, you grate it right onto the bread, and sloppy overhang is great for crisping along the crusts.
Top the bread with the other slice, quick little smash. Hold the sandwich in the air with spatula, add more butter, and flip it carefull to do butter up the new slice.

I might flip it twice more. I might even turn it down if the sugar content of the bread is browning the bread too quickly. I want all the cheese to melt out the sides and give me lacey cheese crispiness, and also time for the crusts to get toasted, not just the surface of the slices.

its just crazy enough to work

cheese

and bread

I've made thousands of grilled cheeses in the past three years because my kid is picky as shit.

>melt butter in stainless steel skillet. like, a lot of butter.
>add a bit of olive oil to keep the butter from burning, set the heat to low medium.
>get bread. preferably rye.
>get cheese. preferably medium cheddar.
>slice cheese, assemble in single layer on bread.
>put in pan, place tightly fitting lid, and wait.
>don't leave the kitchen though because the gremlins like to burn it as soon as you take your eyes off of it
>flip.
>cook more.
>if you're a tiny tyrant your mom will put it on a wire rack until it reaches the ideal temperature, and also remove the crusts.
>also really, really good with a thinly spread dijon mustard the inside of one slice of bread.
> wa la.

Nigga margarine is legally required to be at least 80% fat in parts of the US. Imperial butter is only 28% vegetable oil. They are selling you trash.

>>16441353
mayo outside
butter inside
gruyer, asiago, and gouda
medium hot pan
cook until golden-brown on both sides, add bit of water and cover for 20 secs if cheese not melty enough by then

this is like the 4th person who suggests a lid, and wtf water. Don't you people want maxium crispiness? Turn down the heat, and just use patience to get the cheese melted.

>>16444772
I find a great grilled cheese is crisp on the very exterior but still soft and chewy
you're basically just steaming it to get the cheese as melty as possible, obviously you don't want to waterlog your bread

>>16442603
>Low heat for longer time. White bread, butter
this is how I've found the best grilled cheese, I only like the american cheese though 1.5-2 slices per sandwich
