Growing up, grilled cheese was Velveeta on white bread. For years, I
never did much else but eventually went to sharp cheese. The evolution
continues

We had grilled cheese for dinner last night.

For the cheese> Cabot extra sharp cheddar and Fontina. Both were grated
and then mixed together. You get a better melt that way.

For the bread: Sourdough

For the process: We have an old Dominion brand combo waffler iron and
flat faced grill. I'd guess it is 35 to 40 years old.

Lay ot one slice of bread, spread with the cheese mix. Put the other
slice on top and instead of butter, I spread a light coat of mayo on it.
Flipped it ont he grill, did the other side and closed it. A few
minutes later, a nicely toasted bread with gooey melted cheese.

I offered variations with ham on it too. The mayo is easier than butter
and works well. I'll be using it int he future.

Do you keep your butter refrigerated? I've been keeping butter in the
fridge since starting my weight-loss regimen last October. Keeps me out
of trouble; if it's too much effort to whip up buttered toast for a snack,
I'm much more likely just to have a bit of string cheese or something.

Although a proper grilled cheese is awesome, I generally am satisfied
with melting cheese onto bread in the toaster oven, if I can top it
with a slice of tomato, thinly sliced onion, and a little fresh jalapeno.

We do keep it in the fridge and generally take it out for a while before
it is needed. We like it firmer than room temperature. The mayo can be
spread very thin and no pre-thought required.

I can't take credit for it. I read that some fancy sandwich place uses
it. Same wiht grating the cheese forst. I saw that done and it helps
to blend the two cheesed to get the best properties of both.

What do you have against a good brand of Mayo? We use Cains, all

and I'm not going to make a batch just for that.

It's all an act... Bwrrryan can't afford decent jarred mayo, he's not

Naw, I'm not one of those people who think bacon makes
everything better. I love bacon, but prefer to enjoy
is in its pure state. Or on a BLT. I rarely have bacon
and cheese in a dish together; my husband's twice-baked
potatoes is the only thing that comes readily to mind.

I'm kind of the same way with cheese. I don't very often
have it as a topping (e.g., on a salad), but I fairly
frequently have an ounce or two as the meal's protein.

Bacon to hide the taste of your liver burgers... normal people would
no more put bacon and cheese on a good burger than on a good
porterhouse.

I like bacon...by itself, however I don't like to put it on much of anything
including a burger. For me a burger just needs cheese, mayo, onion.

If I use butterfor a grilled cheese the bread gets brown before the cheese melts so I use stick margarine.

Mayo is mostly oil so you have that working the same a margarine would,
but you also have the egg factor. Give it a try sometime.

You're a ****ing idiot if you even touch stick margarine. That goes for everyone,
the only exception being someone who works in a dairy department, and has to touch
it as part of his/her job.

You get a nicer looking grilled sandwich by using mayo instead of butter. I'm not exactly sure why that would be. If you use Japan mayo, you'll get the tastiest grilled cheese sandwich ever. I started doing this when I didn't have any other thing to use. My guess is that it's a poor folk technique. It's going to catch on sooner or latter because it works just swell. :-)

I've never tried a grilled cheese with mayo instead of butter but it sounds good. I made one last week using a little garlic butter on the outsides. Really good. Actually it's hard to make a bad grilled cheese.

Lately I have been brushing them with olive oil. I love grilled cheese
sandwiches but I have trouble making them. I have difficulty getting the
cheese melted without charring the outside. I have resorted to cooking
them at a much lower heat and putting a lit over them.. risking
sogginess. I like to add sliced tomato and onion, and it is hard to get
the cheese melted an the tomato and onion heated up.

I often put pepperoni in a grilled cheese sandwich, it makes the cheese melt better if you put it between 2 slices of cheese.

I think that it must be genetic. I also find Canola oil nasty, but some
folks can't taste it at all.

I used to be that way about vegetable oil. Haven't used it in
decades, so I have no idea if I still react to it that way or not.

Must be. I can't taste anything when it's cold, but
it smells fishy when heated. So I use canola for
cold stuff (the one or two salad dressings that I make
without extra-virgin olive oil) and peanut oil (which
is pretty expensive) for the little bit of frying that
I do.

I've looked for peanut oil in something besides
the quart bottle from Planter's, but no go. Apparently
we Yankees either don't do enough frying, or we're
happy to use "fryer grease".

Try coconut oil. I haven't yet, but I do have a jar of it. If you
have a Trader Joe's nearby, they sell it at a reasonable price. They
also have ghee in a jar. I was just reading that sunflower oil is
high in omega 6, which isn't a good thing - so although I like the way
it cooks, I'm cooling off on that one.

I think olive oil tastes like paint thinner. What's puzzling to me is that other people don't seem able to taste it.

Everyone's precise perceptive impression of flavors are slightly,
sometimes radically different.
