Butter both sides of two slices of bread, toast one side, flip and put cheese on the freshly toasted side. Assemble sandwich once other side has finished toasting.

At least two kinds of cheese. Nice bread that you'd actually want to eat. Butter. Pan nice and hot.
Grind a little pepper inside the sandwich too.

[Anonymous No.14500994]

>>14500980
This but I'll usually cover the sandwich while it's grilling and use a low temp so the cheese has plenty of time to melt before the bread gets too burnt.

That's not a grilled cheese. It's a pepper melt

Two layers of muenster cheese with hot sauce between the layers. Real butter on Kroger's private selection golden flax and seeds bread.

For me the ideal grilled cheese consists of a slice of white cheddar, a slice of gruyere, and a slice of smoked provolone, you can also use a bit of mozzarella. I like using 4 kinds of cheese. Then add pepper. Spread garlic butter on both sides of the bread, and into a pan on medium low heat until each side is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If you have a sandwich press you can also throw it on there for that nice grill mark effect.

If you're not an infantile child who doesn't mind adding other ingredients like greens into your grilled cheese, I enjoy adding 2 finely chopped cloves of garlic, a little red onion, a slice of tomato, and some spinach. You can also fry up or scramble an egg, that goes very well with it.

I can't do it.
I'm thinking maybe you need really low heat?
my last attempt I got the butter really hot before adding the sandwich and it got smokey without making a nice even crust.

Butter the bread, not the pan; much easier to avoid burning the butter this way. Pan should be heated through but not on high, just make sure it's "preheated" so that it stays hot when you put the bread on it. Butter should sizzle but not smoke, at least not immediately. Make sure your pan is large enough to have the bread lay nice and flat.

I also tend to cover the pan when I cook mine. Makes the cheese metlier because trapped heat, and it's more forgiving not to burn the butter/bread since some moisture stays in the pan.

Good bread good cheese. Salt and pepper usually aren't necessary unless you really like pepper. Cheese tends to be plenty salty on its own. I often dip in leftover spaghetti sauce, or eat with a soup. If it's actually good bread and cheese I've used and not singles or shredded marble etc because I'm cheap, then I'll eat it without any condiments or extras because it's good shit and I want to taste it. It's usually cheap garbage though, unfortunately.

>butter

The real way to do it is use Mayo. Adds a subtle flavor and browns more evenly.

[Anonymous No.14505062]

>>14505046
You end up losing a bit of flavor from not getting the brown butter solids though. You probably like the taste of the lemon or vinegar from the mayo but you can add that after.

Medium heat, butter in pan, and thick slices of cheese on the bread. I like it this way because the bread will brown and the cheese will warm up but not completely melt which I think has a better texture. If you want to be fancy you can put a little cheese on the outside of the bread too. Tastes good with mustard or pickles on it for some acidity to balance out all the fat.

Also you don't want to use bread that has sugar in it, the sugar can just burn before the starch in it really browns.

You have to decide gas or charcoal. You are grilling your grilled cheese sandwiches, aren't you?

spices don't make it a melt, or all the salt in the cheese making process would make everything a melt.

Mayonnaise spread on the outsides, any decent thinly sliced bread, any sliced cheese that melts well. The mayonnaise on the outside makes it crispy without burning.

[Anonymous No.14510600]

Garlic butter on whole wheat preferably with some texturing.

A decent cheese of whichever kind you like, I prefer the sharpest cheddar I can get but preference is preference.

Low-med heat and wait for the pan to come to temp. Place the assembled sandwich and listen for light sizzling. If no sizzle then fuck off for a sec, if too much then you need to learn your stove top.

Cover so the heat can melt your cheese entirely and flip at your desired toast level. I like a little whisper of black personally.

Most important part. After finished you move it to a cutting board and cut on a bias, corner to opposite corner.

Grilled cheese with side pickles is pretty classic
