I worked a grilled cheese stand last fall and we did the Double Crunch method of buttering and toasting the bread, building the sandwich with the toasted parts facing in, then doing the normal butter-the-outside-and-toast thing. Basically you toast all surfaces of the bread for your grilled cheese. The resulting texture really compliments the gooiness of the cheese (our big seller was a garlic + cream cheese + cheddar + bacon bits filler in sourdough).

[@JetFalcon710]

Your big seller sounds absolutely decadent and I would love it

Unless you're using an LTS version, most Distros are buggy, unstable and poorly maintained. It's confusing for beginners, until you accumulate enough extensive knowledge of using the terminal command line. Most users/developers don't prefer to make a GUI for the apps, because Linux is their little "Advanced" corner in this case, so not many people care. Don't get me started on the app availability.

my main go to for cheese is Cheddar, American, Swiss, Mozzarella, and Provolone. garlic butter on the outside of potato bread. (actually, i've been experimenting with a strange combo of garlic butter, sour cream, and ranch for the "butter")

I loved the idea of adding caramelized onions and jam to a grilled cheese. I used to have this maple apple onion spread that I would coat my grilled cheese with and it always came out incredible. Smokey, sweet, savory, all in one bite.

Hmm I would love goats cheese with that jammy sweet savoury!

I made a double-decker grilled cheese with provalone. 3 slices of bread with two sets of cheese and fried ham. It was delicious.

[@wallywallace2184]

Whenever I make my own grilled cheese, I don't butter the outside of the bread. The way I do it is I pull out my pan, butter one side of bread, put it butter side up on top in the pan. Then cheese gets added, then another piece of bread with one side buttered gets put on top of it, this time the butter side is down on the cheese. Then I turn on the heat and cover it. After the lid accumulates an even steam, I shuffle the sandwich occasionally. Shuffling being moving around the pan and flipping it when I get insecure about how long it's been on one side. It gets nicely browned since grease still ends up on the outside due to the melting butter seeping through the bread. Plus with the multiple flips, I can make sure it reaches just the right amount of browning on each side.

[@boba_ocha7782]

All I can think about is Gordon Ramsey’s horrific unmelted grilled cheese and how these are so much better

Doesn't he have lactose intollerance? Babish's stomach: "Stop it, i can't handle it" Babish: "I don't give a s***, i'm gonna make more"

[@thundertwonk1090]

It's probably more sensitive to milk and cream than it is to cheese. Something about the concentration of lactose in a more raw state versus a processed or fermented state. Strangely enough yogurt tends to be just as bad though, mostly because the lactose is front and center in yogurts

[@ibuprofriends]

@@thundertwonk1090 yeah i can actually handle cheese but milk, yogurt and ice cream are a no-go for me.

[@utkuylmaz9671]

While cheese is made, most of lactose is left in the whey; the protein-ful water left behind. Therefore only small amount of lactose remains inside cheese.

[@thundertwonk1090]

I make grilled cheese with sourdough bread, shredded sharp cheddar, and lot's of butter. I actually butter and toast the "inside" of the bread slices, then flip them over add the cheese, and finish like a regular grilled cheese. Extra buttery and toasty, and EXTREMELY delicious!

[@recoil53]

I like rye with caraway seeds. Strong flavors that stand up to cheddar.
