take 2 thick, heavy slices of bread
put slices of thick, hard cheese between them (a kind that doesn't melt, important)
put some kimchi in there too
place bread into pan, put it into a fireplace, quickly cook to a black crisp

>>14958072
this, more or less. I've only ever done it up on a frying pan, contrary to the implications of the name.

Grilled cheese is a shit name. It's pretty much the worst way to make one.

start with some room temperature butter. the trick is to put the butter onto the both sides of the bread and not into the pan.

>stick bread into toaster
>lowest setting, 30~ seconds
>stick butter onto both sides
>lay bread into preheated pan at medium heat
>one slice of cheese
>salt, crack of black pepper
>another slice of cheese over that
>butter up last slice of bread and top it off
each side should take roughly 4~ minutes to form a gold crust.

here you go

mayo goes on the outside of the bread, butter goes in the frying pan.

Instructions unclear, fucked Scarlett Johansson

>spread margarine on two pieces of bread
>put three or four kraft singles between them
>microwave for a few minutes or until golden crispy

There's no need to be pretentious with grilled cheese. Simple is best

>>14958077
Yeah and you shouldn't listen to him

Just use some sort of cheese you like that'll melt and shred some extra cheese. Make your sandwich and fry it up with some nice butter like plugra or something. When it's about done, put the extra cheese on top and flip so the cheese gets crispy. Remove from pan and cut diagonally after about a minute or so.

>>14958227

why cant his body language just be chill

>>14958274
>three or four kraft singles
I think I'm blind...

I know half of you are poor fucks who unironically eat plastic kraft singles but for people with jobs arguably the best melting cheeses you can get are gruyere or emmental.
It's hard to go back once you take the meltypill

You can't afford kraft American cheese?

Isn't that the point of the scene?

>How do I make a good grilled cheese sandwich?
Real butter, medium heat, patience. Flip more than once. Goal is to get the toasting nice and golden, and soft bread into nicely toasted bread, esp the crusts. For me, the goal also includes a more substantial bread with delicious crust something artisan or sourdough even, and I'll grate at least one of my cheeses onto the bread, so I can get some of it falling out of the sides, and extra crispy edged along the crusts. Sometimes I sprinkle some sea salt, to flavor the butter more. If the bread is fluffy vs dense, feel free to smash it down a bit.

I have nothing against mayo's ability to crust up which it does well, but I if I were to use it for basic grilled cheese, I'd still need some aspect of butter for actual butter flavor.

There's a recipe I use to garlic-toast bread that came from Rusty Pelican restaurant, and it's thin spread of butter down first on the bread, then a thin layer of mayo, then a sprinkle of garlic, then a thin layer of parm adhering to that moist crust. It's delicious to toast something like a hot ham and cheese, patty meltt, or something more Italian, like a leftovers kind of thing, some thinly sliced roast beef w/ peppers or onions kind of sandwich. Garlic and the saltiness of external cheese is delish.

BEAUTIFUL.

use mayo instead of butter

There is an insane amount of big dick energy radiating from this post

Get sliced American cheese and a bag of finely shredded cheddar.
Butter on the outside, stick shredded cheese to butter. American cheese on the inside, duh.
Preheat pan on a medium-low heat. You're toasting the bread and melting the cheese, not frying an egg.
Put it in the pan, cover it.
Let it cook until the cheese in the middle has melted enough to keep the sandwich together.
Flip, cook uncovered. Repeat as necessary until both sides are crisp golden brown.
Cut diagonally or go to hell.

>using american industrial waste cheese
Neck yourself. You are a disgrace for using that shit.

>>14958068
add some chopped onions

>>14958227
do people really do this? all that clean up for a single sandwich? i guess favreau has a wife though

Boars head cheese melts better than Land of Lakes. Also, add thin/shaved slices of pepperoni and a side of marinara sauce. Way better meal than shitty frozen pizzas like Red Baron.

>>14958072
this + butter

>>14959670
That's a melt.

Can you make a decent grilled cheese with a sandwich maker apparatus?

>>14959963
Like a painini press? Why the fuck couldn't you?

>>14958227
Jesus christ favreau, it's just grilled cheese!

>>14959670
Bores Head is a hipster meme just use kraft singles

Why do americans cut cheese with knives? Haven't you heard of the superior cheese cutting device?

>>14959675
*lots of butter, and on both sides of each bread slice

>>14960007
I unwrap mine from single serve plastic wrappers

>>14960007
Imagine your cheese not coming individually sliced and wrapped in non-recyclable plastic. Pleb.

>>14959297
>all that cleanup
>1. wipe down the grill
>2. clean plate, knife, and utensil
fucking lazy zoomer
