How do I make the perfect grilled cheese?
cheese probably
i don't know about the grill part, I usually just eat cheese on toast, but i use a filling that is two parts shredded cheese, one part dijon mustard and one part mayo
mix that up and spread it on the bread, far superior to cheese alone

Don't ask Ramsay.
Get two slices of toast, butter one side each paying attention to the crusts, then put it on medium low in a pan with a kraft single in the middle flipping once. Serve with heated campbell's tomato soup for dipping, dressed up with a squirt of sriracha for garlic and spiciness.
>>7526926
lots of butter and make sure you use pic related
You don't. Every component is inherently flawed.
>>7526926
I think Chef John's version is a good place to start.

oh and I forgot, use white bread
>>7526985
Fuck white putty bread. Shit sucks.
>>7527110
it's perfect for grilled cheese
try a little mayo on the inside
just a little, you're doing this for flavor, not to add moisture to dry ingredients like you would with a sandwich
>>7527110
"White bread" is a pretty broad term. You can get real quality white bread or you can get the $0.69 shitloaf.
>>7526926
You guys are doing it all wrong, forget the bread, just grill some cheese halloumi saganki style.

you need to squeeze that shit, that's how
>>7526969
no, american cheese is not cheese!
>>7527359
That's actually what a loaf from a real bakery costs.

2 pieces wheat bread with mayo instead of butter, with 2 pieces thin sliced sharp cheddar with shredded cheddar in between, cooked over low and medium heat.

Never eat Kraft singles it's probably poison and is certainly not real food.
>>7527727
How do you know it was the cheese and not any number of other things?
>>7527734
20 mins after cheese exposure is a decent indicator, and it had been several hours since breakfast so if it was something from then it makes sense we all would have been sick.
>>7527727
>>Be like 6 when these were first a thing.
Jesus Christ how fucking old are you
>>7527738
Food poisoning isn't limited to several hours.
>>7527753
The only thing that they puked up was the cheese and it was minutes after they ate it. Cmon man.
>>7527757
sounds like you and your family are a bunch of faggots
>>7527757
It takes only a couple hours for food to enter your intestines. You can't puke up things that aren't in your stomach.
>>7527763
it was the 90s, times was different.
>>7527586
Yes it is. Just don't get the ones that specifically say imitation cheese. American cheese is just soft cheddar.
>>7528558
>soft cheddar is real cheese
>>7526926
That looks fried not grilled?
>>7528567
For some reason Americans call it grilled despite the fact it's fried.
And to add even more confusion they don't even call grilling grilling.
>>7528576
But when you fry its always with oil.
Grilled cheese just has butter outside the bread.
>>7528576
It's called "Grilled" because the term derives from a Plancha grill, aka a "griddle".
>>But when you fry its always with oil.
No, you can fry in butter or any other cooking fat like bacon drippings, duck fat, etc. It doesn't have to be oil.

Just made the most amazing grilled cheese. Rye with goat cheese and boars head chipotle Gouda. Absolutely incredible.

>>7526926
you take a product that isn't actually cheese, make a sandwich with it and fry it. no cheese or grilling required. god bless america.
>>7528591
>Using a griddle still isn't grilling in any country other than the USA
First off, "Plancha Grill" is a British term.
Second, I'm not sure how any of this is relevant given that the "grilled cheese" is an American dish. It makes sense it uses American terminology.
>>7527727
"Cooked bread and cheese is an ancient food, according to food historians, popular across the world in many cultures; evidence indicates that in the U.S., the modern version of the grilled cheese sandwich originated in the 1920s when inexpensive sliced bread and American cheese became easily available"
>>7527746
This. If you were "like 6" in the 1920s..at 1929 you were 6 for youngest sake..you're on 4chan at a minimum of 86 years old. I bet you look at all the porn threads opa.

Thanks for reminding me I live in Sweden and can't buy cheapo bricks of black diamon cheddar anymore.
-_-
If I want cheddar now I need to pay like fucking 15 euros a kilo and it's aged as fuck, and too strong for casual grilled cheese fun.
>>7526926
You take some cheese and put it on the grill. Halloumi works pretty well.
>tfw access to the glorious hammontrees
You fucks will never know
>grilled cheese sandwich
>optimal preparation is pan-frying
