What do you use in grilled cheese? I just made one with sharp cheddar. It's not bad, but I feel it's a bit boring.

>sourdough or potato bread
>1 slice gouda or havarti
>1 slice sharp cheddar
>1 slice american
Toasted with good butter and a little salt. If the bread is thick I add another slice of cheddar or gouda.

Usually cheese

thanks i'll try that. does the sourdough take longer to cook? i just use plain white.

old cheddar (slightly younger than sharp cheddar, metls better)
kraft singles are fine too

Probably a little longer than the white. Depends on how crusty it is I'd imagine.
If I'm lazy and want it fast I toast both sides at the same with cheddar on one side and gouda on the other. Use a lid to melt the cheese while it toasts and only put the american on for the last 30 sec. The cheese doesn't really melt together as well but it halves cooking time.

You can use gouda to give it a creamier texture, and a sharp cheddar as well to give it a bit more bite. The risk with using two cheeses is that it can very easily feel like too much cheese.

I just do mild cheddar

jack cheese + medium cheddar cheese. this melts extremely well

>>21457944
same. i always use a slice of american and then some shreds of something with flavor. whatever we have around. i prefer shreds to slices for the non-processed cheese on a grilled cheese

No such thing as too much cheese.

white kraft singles

cheese + honey ham. plain cheese is garbage

Try not grilling it, butter the outside of the bread and use a frying pan on a low heat (so you melt the cheese before burning the bread) flip and do the other side.

thats the usual way to do it, anon

yeah i don't even have a grill. i do it in the pan.
also, i'm a Chef John fan, so i do this thing i learned from his vids where you sprinkle cheese on the outside of the bread and give it like 30-60 seconds in the pan to carmelize. you wind up with a nice crisp cheese coating on the outside that is just awesome.

That's not a grilled cheese then retard.

when the sandwich was invented, home ovens had small grilling drawers built in. you still see them in tiny japanese apartments.

Like, just grilled? I love halloumi, it's made to be grilled/fried. It's not gooey though.

i like smoked provolone, bacon gouda, or meunster

>>21457905 (OP)
Good cheeses mentioned here, also realize you can season your cheese. I like e.g. garlic powder, chili powder, dried herbs, all depending on the cheese and what else I'm having with it

>>21457905 (OP)
A pan
