Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe

I agree that this recipe is a classic, akin to the basic skill of boiling water. However, for those seeking a unique twist on a traditional favorite, give this a try. Make your grilled cheese sandwich as usual, but skip buttering the bread. Once the cheese has melted to your liking, take the sandwich out of the pan. With both sides of the bread lightly toasted, dip the entire sandwich in an egg batter and return it to the pan. For a creative touch, you can spice up the egg batter with garlic, finely minced fresh onions, or any other seasoning of your choice. Avoid buttering the bread before cooking to prevent sogginess and ensure proper egg cooking. Give it a shot and enjoy your innovative creation!

I couldn't believe that a grilled cheese sandwich didn't receive a top rating! I thoroughly enjoyed reading through all the comments and decided to share my own twist that I hadn't seen mentioned. Back in the late 80s during my high school days, my friend's aunt, who was on Weight Watchers, shared a unique tip with us. Instead of using butter on the outer side of the bread, she recommended spreading a thin layer of mayo. This technique not only grills up beautifully and adds an extra layer of flavor but is also a healthier alternative to butter. Mayo spreads thinly, so you end up using less while still achieving that satisfying crispy texture. Personally, I also like to include mustard on the inside for an added kick. My three kids absolutely love this version of grilled cheese. Such a fantastic idea!

Flavorful and easy! If you adore cheese as much as my children do, you'll appreciate this easy enhancement: once you've taken your grilled cheese out of the pan, give it a quick spray of non-stick cooking oil or a small slice of butter, then sprinkle on some shredded cheese. When it begins to melt, place the grilled cheese on top and gently press down with a spatula for about 10 seconds until the cheese crisps up on the bread... Voilà, just serve it with the melted cheese side up. :)

This recipe is a straightforward and timeless classic. I opt for hamburger buns, buttering them on both sides before browning in a skillet and adding a slice of cheddar cheese to each. Once cooked, I place the buttered buns on a plate, add mayo and a slice of tomato, and then top with the melted cheese buns. Enjoy on its own or pair with your favorite sides like soup or chips. I personally enjoy serving it with some sweet pickles on the side.

Here is the rewritten review: "I really enjoy this recipe, but I personally like to prepare mine with 2 slices of American cheese, sliced tomato, and onion, topped with oregano. I spread either softened butter or mayo and sprinkle parmesan cheese on the buttered side. I love to serve it with cream of tomato soup. Delicious!"

Blending different cheeses elevates the flavor profile. Pairing Cabot's "Seriously Sharp" cheese with cheddar or American, as well as Swiss with mild cheddar, creates delightful combinations. Occasionally, I include a slice of ham or some fresh tomatoes before grilling. This versatile sandwich offers countless possibilities for customization, making it a fantastic choice for any meal.

Super easy and straightforward. Use low heat and take your time to avoid burning it.

Simple and delicious recipe to kick things off. I added garlic salt and sesame seeds, topped it with my own smoked sharp cheddar and homemade Canadian bacon. Grilled to perfection for a hot and gooey 'ham' and cheese sandwich, cooked slowly to ensure everything is heated through.

The classic version never disappoints, but I like to add my own twist. I generously butter both sides, use processed cheese slices, and top it off with freshly grated Parmesan. It may not be the healthiest choice, but enjoying it with a spicy Bloody Mary balances it out. What a flavorful combination!

We assembled these sandwiches using freshly baked sourdough bread purchased from Kroger and baked in-store. After buttering and spreading mayo on one side of each slice of bread, we sprinkled a bit of wood-fired garlic powder. Then, we added two slices of cheddar cheese – one mild and one medium. We grilled the sandwiches in a non-stick skillet until the bread turned a golden brown color, flipping them a few times for even cooking.

Review rewritten: I used some thinly sliced turkey breast and cooked it on high heat until it was added to the sandwiches. Then I lowered the heat to medium to crisp it up. Remember to keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

I have been preparing these sandwiches for years. I use two slices of cheddar cheese and my son prefers the bread to be squashed, so I always do that. It's a staple on my meal rotation schedule.

I added thin slices of apple to my cheese sandwich and it was a total game changer - absolutely delicious!

The outcome was fantastic! Thank you

Exactly the way I always make it, but with a preference for Miracle Whip over mayo. And I always opt for Kraft Deluxe American Cheese instead of the processed artificial cheese.

Literally just had a grilled cheese sandwich. Loved it!

Fast and convenient snack. I will definitely make it again.

Here is the revised version of your review: "A simple yet fantastic recipe! Grilled cheese sandwiches are already amazing, but our family has a unique twist that may seem odd to some but tastes absolutely delicious. After cooking the grilled cheese, we top it with a bit of grape jelly before cutting it. The combination of the sweetness from the jelly and the tanginess of the cheese is surprisingly delightful, especially for kids. This has been a family tradition for generations - my father's grandmother used to make them this way for him, and it's how I grew up enjoying them, passing it on to my kids as well. Don't knock it until you try it - I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised!"

I don't know what else to add, this grilled cheese is just perfect with some Swiss or Colby added to it!

This grilled cheese was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be making it again and again from now on.
