Grilled Cheese Sandwich on the griddle

It doesn’t get easier than grilled cheese sandwich on the griddle! But of course, we had to kick it up a notch… We tried the classic grilled cheese sandwich with American cheese, and we also made a fancy version with shredded gruyere, sliced cheddar, and a parmesan crust. Use your Blackstone or Camp Chef flat top grill and try these combinations of different cheeses, breads, and oils/butters to create a fantastic grilled cheese sandwich.
You can make this easy chili to go with your grilled cheese.

FTK, you and Mrs. FTK are the top tandem in Griddle Nation! Love the attention to detail in your cooks! By the way, with Veterans Day coming up, just wanted to thank you for your service!

Greetings from Hamilton County. Congrats on your choice of American cheese slices. That's the best American cheese, hands down. As for mayonnaise to replace butter on grilled cheese, I groan and wince at the suggestion. I tried it and decided it didn't want my grilled cheese to smell and taste like vinegar. Therefore, it's only BUTTER for me (sometimes olive oil). By the way, be on the lookout for Kraft Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Cheddar Slices. It's an 8-oz pack, 8 thick slices (1 ounce each), and currently only $2.98 at Walmart.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Brother, I will check that out.

@Flat Top King - On the olive oil and butter... I read a book about The Beastie Boys. They included recipes for some of their favorite things. One was a breakfast egg dish (basically scrambled eggs, with fried eggs on top of them, then crumbled hard boiled eggs on top) they cooked the eggs in butter and olive oil. I have been making my eggs like that ever since. Very good.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Wow thats called eggs three ways i guess.

So, how about mayo made with olive oil??? Have you ever tried to cold smoke cheese? It's really not that difficult I guess. Have you ever had a horseradish grilled cheese made with horseradish cheese? Good stuff!👍😎 Tell the Mrs. that it will be a high. Of 30 and lows in the teens this weekend here in NW Wisconsin. BTW, if you would like,I can hook ya up with the some horseradish cheese and a few others if you would like some. Seriously. I never kid around when it comes to cheese!🧀😃😎👍😉🧀🥓

[@drdrew3]

Would be great if you added a surface temp thermometer and periodically mentioned the readings. An experienced cook like yourself can adjust knobs based upon how the food reacts but we beginners need a little guidance

If u break down mayo ingredients it has a lot of oil. Some like to spread the outside of the bread with mayo. It’s actually does give a great crust but I’m not a fan of the flavor. I like the butter taste way more.

Going to say that one of the best grilled cheeses I've made, might sound a bit off. I will shred up a mixture of American and mozzarella, while making a garlic butter crust and 2 plain American slices directly on each slice before the mixture. I will set it out, showing the creamy gooiness in the center. Easily I can serve hundreds a day at my job. Before trying it this way, I always thought mozzarella would be a bad idea, but it mixes well and tastes great.

Kraft doesn't do anything different between individually wrapped cheese than they do with packaged cheese that's not wrapped. Sorry to tell you.

[@CheezeheadChris]

Ya there is, in the thickness of the cheese. The wrapped slices can be displayed without refrigeration, where the unwrapped has to be refrigerated. Also, one is classified as a cheese food, the other is a cheese product and yes, there is a difference between the two.
