How do I make a grilled cheese taste better?

>> No.8705834

more butter

>> No.8705837

>>8705831
Use better bread
Use good quality butter (or mayo)
Use better cheese
Add additional ingredients (though I'm sure some sperg will bitch that that's now a "melt" rather than a "grilled cheese").

Make a sandwich but cook it the same way instead

>> No.8705851

Very simple great grilled cheese:
>whole wheat bread
>thin layer of mayo
>some type of hot pickled pepper, like chili
>melt butter in the pan (don't spread it on the bread)
>cover while it cooks so the cheese fully melts

>> No.8705854

Do you put the butter on the pan or directly onto the bread?

>How do I make a grilled cheese taste butter?
Only 1 vowel change and your problem is solved.
Also a little spice like some chipotle chili powder, cayenne, or hot sauce to accentuate the savoriness of the sandwich and cut through it's fat might be good.

>> No.8705885

>>8705831
Use two kinds of cheese, something with flavor like a gouda, havarti, meunster that is melty, along with a colby or cheddar.
Good crusty bread. Cook it low and with real butter and sea salt until it's toasted well.

Sometimes I go italian with a grilled sandwich that has a parm crust.
What I do is butter, softened on the bread slices, then a minuscule layer of mayo on top of that, and adhere some grated parm to the mayo layer. Hit it with some garlic or parsley if you want. Toast until cheese is crusted over.

Have you not ever heard of that? It's better than tearing your bread up trying to spread cold butter on it. It's pretty good. That said, you can just drop the butter in the pan and not worry about it.

Better cheese, better bread, better butter. Just use better ingredients and you're golden.

Butter on the inside and the outside, mayonnaise inside. You could also add cream cheese (melts differently, adds different flavour), feta, and so on. And if you're feeling really crazy, put in some bacon.

Advanced tip - when. Your grilled cheese is about done lift it off the skillet and drop a handful of shredded cheese in there then put the sandwich directly on top. Fry it up until it's crispy and repeat on the other side.

I can't believe I keep running into you faggots, stop putting your butter in the fridge, unless it comes straight from a farm it's not going to go bad if you leave it in a cupboard.

What I do nowadays is grate my cheese directly onto the bread while it's in the pan, that way the cheese that misses the bread becomes my crust. Saves me needing the wipe the counter down each time as well.

I like to butter both sides of the bread (or whatever oil you want to use), and brown the inside first. Then finish with whatever cheese you like best and thick cut pepper bacon. Just experiment, it's such an easy food to make and takes so little time. Caramelized onions taste pretty good too.

8711285

>>8705831
Heat pan or skillet to low heat. Pour a bit of canola oil (just a thin layer to cover pan). Add softened butter to pan. Adding oil first helps the butter spread better. Italian peasant bread with a combination of Swiss cheese with either a goat cheese herb spread, or muenster. Cook on low heat on each side to let bread absorb butter oil. Then cook on each side again on medium or high heat if you want more of a crunch. Ignore the mayo suggestions. If you want to give the bread more flavor use a brush and do a light coat of egg whites to both sides. I also prefer a small pinch of pepper on each side.
