The guy who said a grilled cheese is just bread and cheese is correct. When you add more to it, it becomes a melt.

[@decolonizeEverywhere]

Or in this case a completely different sandwich. This one sandwich was a pulled pork sandwich and not even related to a grilled cheese except for the grilled part but every grilled sandwich doesn't mean it's a grilled cheese sandwich. And every sandwich that has cheese on it doesn't mean it's a grilled cheese sandwich either. And none of them were toasties which are pretty much any kind of sandwich made in a toasty sandwich maker. You can make a toasty out of peanut butter and jelly and it's still not a grilled cheese.

Yet many celebrity chefs can’t understand that basic fact. Plus the cheese has to melt to be called grilled cheese.

American here. Haven’t heard or tried most of what you folks are trying here. With grilled cheese, simplicity is best: cheese, usually American or cheddar, and buttered bread toasted. If you want to go wild, add bacon and tomato.

[@jack-f8u4k]

Yep. I like some very thinly sliced tomato on mine. This and cheeseburgers are where the sliced American "Cheese Product" justify its existance and fancy cheeses are not the best for either, although sometimes I do go fancy.

Toasted bread is a cheese sandwich, not an American grilled cheese. Butter one side of each slice of bread, place one slice butter side down in a hot frying pan, lay on cheese, then 2nd slice of bread butter side up. Pan-fried on each side until golden brown.

The bread was so heavy with butter and cheese that it seemed to melt together. The richness of the natural butter and cheese left us feeling satisfied for the rest of the school day.

The first sandwich is the only one that can be called a grilled cheese sandwich. If you add pulled pork and pineapple, then it is a grilled pulled pork and pineapple sandwich with cheese. For an old school American grilled cheese, you need the following. Cheap white Wonder bread, Kraft American cheese slices (one slice is fine, but you use two if you want to make it with love), and salted butter. That's it. Butter both sides of the sandwich and fry in a pan until nicely toasted. The best way to eat it is with a nice big mug of Campbell's Tomato Soup (made with milk, not water) so you can dunk the sandwich in the soup. Have this on a rainy day and you are in heaven.

I'm going to have to agree with a lot of the comments here In the US Grilled cheese is really simple: White Bread about 1 cm slices Slice of American cheese (Kraft or similar) Butter or Mayo Tomato Soup Glass of milk You'll need to do it like this: 1 Start with tomato soup, AMERICAN CAMBELLS SOUP (if you can't get that over there, it looks like Heinz is your next best option, it's tomato soup not cream of tomato soup, should be tomatos, water celery extract or powder, and salt and other than maybe a few preservatives, an oil and a little sugar, that's it) 2 Heat the soup at medium heat in a medium sized sauce pan (About 4 qts or liters) about until it's to the proper temp then let it sit on a simmer setting. 3 Heat a pan preferably cast iron, medium high heat, it should sizzle when the bread hits the pan. Steps 4 through 6 should be quick: 4 Mayo or butter spread on a piece of white bread, butter/mayo side down in the pan (Try both, if you did a follow up to this I'd actually like to see thoughts on the difference) 5 One to two slices of Kraft or similar American cheese on the bread, what you might refer to as plastic cheese over there. 6 Slather the same ingredient chosen in step 4 on another slice this time butter/mayo side up, so that it's butter/mayo side down when flipped 7 Wait for the bottom to just brown, and the cheese just melt then flip 8 Remove your sandwich and cut DIAGONALLY (I CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANTANCE OF THE DIAGONAL CUT ENOUGH) 9 Repeat steps 4 through 8 as many times as deemed necessary, my family on grilled cheese night would do an entire loaf. I know this is hard over there but no whining about the carbs, this is an AMERICAN meal, we load on carbs here. 10 Serve with a bowl, or wide mouthed mug if you prefer, of soup, a plate of grilled cheese slices and a glass of milk You're going to dip the grilled cheese in the soup, and eat, with your hands, when you've had your fill of the grilled cheese, drink the soup up, there are no utensils on grilled cheese night!!!!

Not traditional, but a different method I've used for "grilled cheese" is shallow frying in avocado oil, and doing a blend of cheeses. Typically pepper jack and havarti on sourdough. Obviously with tomato soup. The depth of crunch when you nail it is divine.

[@SarahRenz59]

Very unusual combinations. In my area (Midwest US), the most common grilled cheese sandwich variants are grilled cheese and tomato; also grilled cheese and ham.

I'm super picky, I generally only like them with American Cheese (I know, but at least it doesn't congeal) and sourdough, with an optional slice of fresh tomato. It's been ages since I had one with tomato soup. But my favorite Italian restaurant makes tomato bisque fresh to order, from scratch, which I always pair with their crispy, gooey garlic cheese bread!🤤🤤🤤

This is funny... I just made a grilled cheese on sour dough about an hour ago with Monterey Jack and Sharp Cheddar cooked in a skillet with a bunch of salted butter. Yummy

[@russellwood8750]

As an Irish person living in North America now for 18 years, that’s not American style grilled cheese sandwiches. Typically you have two slices of bread where the outside gets buttered in a natural butter so when you’re frying it in the pan, it has that delicious golden taste. It will have a couple of different styles of American cheese. That is your typical grilled cheese sandwich. Now, if you want an accompaniment most people believe the only thing you put in the sandwich other than maybe a spice or a sauce would be ham, ham and grilled cheese sandwich American classic. If you want an external compliment to go with an American grilled cheese sandwich, you would have tomato soup that is the ultimate comfort combination for the majority of Americans. Some Americans might spice the cheese up with a few dabs of hot sauce, so may use some Worcestershire sauce. But generally, you don’t see the monstrosities that will put in front of you. Americans tend not to like fucking with the Classics. Types of cheese that you will find an American grilled cheese sandwiches cheddar, American, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, Gouda, Muenster, havarti.

using mayo on the outside instead of butter is a somewhat recent thing. it's usable right from the fridge, it's easy to spread evenly, and it toasts up really well.

Honey wheat bread American cheese Gouda Mayo-Parm-Seasoning mix Butter Make mayo mix, spread on both pieces. Put cheese slices atop mix. Close sandwich. Heat pan medium, melt healthy pad of butter. Lay in sandwich, move it around for maximum butter coverage. Cover for roughly thirty seconds to trap the heat. Remove sandwich from pan, new pad of butter, repeat previous steps. Flip two more times (no additional butter unless you want it). Serve diagonal cut with tomato soup.

[@ogrejd]

I'm old and basic. Two slices of white bread, every inch of the outside buttered (the bread itself should never touch the pan :P), one slice of American cheese (ie, a Kraft slice), in a cold nonstick pan and cooked on medium, flipping when the bottom's nice and golden. Who needs more?

[@williamriley-le9zo]

American cheese isn't cheese at all. If you didn't know, it's nothing more than whipped processed chemicals. You don't have to take my word for it. Look it up. YUCK!!! I'd rather eat dog poo.

As an American I once ordered a "grilled cheeseburger" thinking that it would be treated like a grilled cheese, just toasted bread on the outside. My grandpa was visiting and ordered it too. To our horror when the order arrived we realized that they used an entire grilled cheese sandwich for each side of the bun! So it was 2 grilled cheese with a burger in the middle. We could only eat less than half. As for the mayo, yes some people use it, most use butter, but I have found that chili infused clarified butter is AMAZING. SUPER crispy exterior without steaming the bread and making it soggy.

Once anything beyond bread and cheese is used, its considered a melt. A grilled cheese and a melt are both amazing, but they are different. I would even go so far as to say all grilled cheeses are melts, but not all melts are grilled cheeses. I like adding bacon, a bacon melt. A tuna melt is a common diner meal. Just like the rules of a sandwich.

[@leviturner3265]

I agree. Although, I am curious of your opinion on the hamburger sandwich or rather a hamburger being a sandwich. In the 1920's and 1930's it was common to call it a "hamburger sandwich" this also helped differentiate it from a "Hamburg steak" or anything thing else related to Hamburg. I even recall watching a film from the 1930's in which they say something to the effect of "lets get some hamburger sandwiches." A patty melt would be a sandwich and it is closely related to the hamburger sandwich, but a patty melt is always on sliced bread that is always toasted and always includes cheese, while a hamburger sandwich is served on a bun (or slices of bread) that may or may no be toasted, and may or may not be served with cheese, such as a "hamburger sandwich with cheese", "hamburger with cheese" or simply a "cheese-burger."
