Grilled Cheese

[WoodMoose]

We hit CDA annually as the wife’s Lyme doc is there, always includes at least one trip to Meltz. I always opt for the Oinker or the Border Patrol but the Mrs has found her go to on the “secret menu” with the Briqueso (sp?) off their secret menu. Good ol gut bomb stuff right there

had to look that one up - it's on their regular menu now

This beauty is made with made with Meltz's house-made Herbed-Almond Pepper Jack Cheese, White Cheddar, Brie Mousse, Roasted Artichokes, Caramelized Onions, Tomato Pesto, and more, all on delicious gluten-free bread.

now I have to plan a boondoggle to Idaho!

The best grilled cheeses have left over Thanksgiving or Christmas ham or turkey on them.

That’s a good looking sandwich!

Butter. “Fake cheese”… American.

But… I like wheat bread.

Ham is good sometimes, but then it is a hot ham and cheese sandwich, not a grilled cheese. Sometimes it will use different cheese with a hot ham and cheese, and sometimes I will add mustard, but the butter and wheat bread stay the same.

Grilled cheese is essential winter food. My favorite way to thaw fingers frozen by icy wind and snow is to wrap them around a warm, crispy melty cheesy sammich.

Butter, cheddar, ham. Not too picky about the bread.

With an Alpine for dessert.

Kraft American, white bread, real butter, sprinkled with garlic salt and dipped in ketchup or tomato soup.

What? Ketchup?

I was in Nashville earlier this month and was so excited to find a restaurant called "The Grilled Cheeserie"
Probably one of the biggest disappointments I've had as an adult, sad little greasy sandwich.

Look, it was Nashville, home of what is called “country music.” What did you actually expect?

Dave’s Killer Good Seed, all sides buttered & pre-cheesed pan toasted, 2-3 slices American. Timing is everything, don’t char. Hamburger dill slices on the side.

Yes, bacon grease sometimes for flavor but butter generally.

I usually do the ultimate and add grilled chicken and/or bacon.

Rye, butter outside mustard inside, cheddar and elk pastrami.

Olive oil on the outside,mayo on the inside with smoked Gouda cheese on Dave’s killer bread

What's with putting a bunch of other stuff on a grilled cheese sandwich and still calling it grilled cheese? The only thing between the bread in a grilled cheese sandwich is cheese. Although, perhaps delicious, all those others are just some kind of grilled sandwich that has cheese on it. I love a good grilled tuna sandwich sometimes and on occasion I'll put a slice of swiss on it. It's still a grilled tuna. It didn't suddenly transform into a grilled cheese sandwich that has tuna on it. Cheese is an ingredient on better than half the sandwiches out there, but we never refer to those sandwiches as cheese sandwiches. Nope, the only time cheese gets full credit is when cheese is alone in the sandwich. If you only have one other ingredient, then cheese can share credit, like ham and cheese, bologna and cheese or cheeseburger but that's it. I guess cheeseburger can have other ingredients, but "cheeseburger" was just a fast-food marketing ploy anyway.

I think the cheese doesn't matter much. Just what ever looks good at the time. Butter is best but mayo if I'm lazy/in a hurry/out of butter.
There is good american cheese out there just not in the plastic wraps.

Fair enough.

I have been in Coeur d Alene for 5.5 yrs and haven't been to Meltz... It has been on the list of places to try but just never end up there. It is probably less than 2 miles from my office so no good excuses.

Butter, but only if I don't have any fat from a roast chicken saved in the fridge so that it gets the flavor of the garlic and rosemary. Pepper jack cheese. Cast iron skillet.

Now the wife is wondering why I’m talking about making a grilled cheese san for breakfast lol

 

[thomas89]

Sure seems like some of you boys are just in love with paninis and hide it behind calling it a grilled cheese.
