grilling you about grilled cheese

[Torzelbaum]

Grilling season is nearly upon us but we're talking about a different type of grilling today because it's National Grilled Cheese Day. So how do you take your grilled cheese?

Cut into triangles or into rectangles/squares?
Cut into 2 or 4 pieces?
With crust or without?

What bread do you prefer?
What cheese or cheeses do you like on them?
What other toppings (if any) do you like on them?

And what side dish(es) do you like to have with them?

I usually use american cheese and cut into triangles. Also, using mayo instead of butter makes for a crispy sandwich that doesn't burn.

I did once make the greatest grilled cheese ever: Beecher's New Woman (Beecher's Flagship cheddar with jerk spices added), mango and avocado. It was incredible, but a lot of work. Need to do that again sometime when I feel up to it.

I use whatever cheese I have lying around. No slices. Don't fuck with that. Often it is cheddar related.

Bread; whatever. A good white bread. But I go hard mode. Since I usually buy ezekiel bread, that. It's a thick bread so the cheese melts slow. So I am constantly not just turning the whole thing over, I flip the cooked side to face the cheese so it melts faster. It's not a perfect grilled cheese but it works for me.

I bake the bread because I've never really enjoyed the fried greasy outside of the truly grilled cheese. Cheese is using up whatever we have, but bread is usually Dave's Killer Bread.
