I wanted a grilled cheese and soup today, but without the greasy hands. So I toasted some sourdough, put some cheese on it (emmentaler), and then wrapped it in foil and baked it for about 15 minutes.
It wasn't very good.
The cheese seemed to have soaked in the bread so there was this layer of soggy dough on the inside and it was weird. And the bread was just really unexpectedly tough. I figured with the foil, it would steam and get nice and soft, but I guess not?
Where did I go wrong? Besides trying to create this abomination of a sandwich in the first place, obviously.

dude what even
All you want to do is melt the cheese and toast the bread. Just leave it uncovered in there. Heck, you might be able to broil it.

I don't know. When I wrap dinner rolls in foil and throw them in the oven, they come out amazing. Like freshly baked, warm, soft as pillows. Why is this different?
I will try broiling next time though, that is a good idea. Maybe pre-toasting was the problem.
Heres what ya do. Spread the butter one side and put the cheese on that side. Bake for 10 min 375. Put two pieces of cheese toast together or eat em separately.

Its fucking sour dough, not yeast rolls.
Use a napkin to pick up the grilled cheese, or be autistic and use a fork and knife
Or just wash your fucking hands after you're done

>Foil
You dun goofed
God damn man don't reinvent the wheel. Butter one side of each slice of bread and but the cheese between it and cook it on med/low heat. Flip when the bread is hard to your liking or wait until the cheese starts oozing out.

You just put the dry bread on the griddle? Does that even get toasty?

The foil, just the other day my sister made grilled cheese in the oven and it worked perfectly
>>7466089
this. just pop too pieces of bread with cheese on top under a broiler
I'm not a burger and grilled cheese sandwiches aren't a thing where I live.
What's the tomato soup for?
You dip the sandwich in it like cookies and milk?
>>7466066
this is more convenient
>>7466956
yeah
it's pretty good, but I like to dip my grilled cheese sandwiches in [spoiler]mayo[/spoiler]
>>7466275
Do you put buttered bread in the toaster?
Grilled cheese with tomato soup is the only thing I've ever made that I learned about on /ck/
It was good.

>>7466066
make an open faced one under the broiler like a brit
I use pic related.
Maybe try without the foil next time, it will dry up the sandwiches.
