This is one of my favorite foods. However, made with the wrong ingredients, they turn into a mushy mess. Here are my tips for a great grilled cheese sandwich!!
Start with good bread. Sorry, but Wonderbread or other white breads don't make good grilled sandwiches. Use a good 9 grain or sourdough, like the Cobblestone Mills variety. You can use day old bread with good results though.
Use good cheese. None of that fake stuff---use real Cheddar, the kind you slice yourself.
Spread the outsides of the sandwich with butter, or garlic butter (or margarine). (Probably the easiest way is to lay the bread on the counter and butter it and then assemble it on the griddle.)
Heat your griddle or pan to medium heat and then place sandwiches on the griddle and fry on both sides till golden brown. Do not flatten the sandwiches with a spatula in an effort to make the cheese melt and do not leave the stove while frying.
Good with a glass of iced tea and a salad or try it with some hot chocolate or tomato soup!!
For variations on this try adding a slice of ham or using Swiss or provolone or all of the afore-mentioned items before grilling. A little mustard or mayo is good too--just don't overload it!!
